Iris DeMent Trouble (Iris DeMent/Elmer McCall) Duet vocal: Delbert McClinton I went to church on Sunday, I swung my chariot low Reached up to kiss the deacon, he said "You'd better go" Trouble, I'm in trouble with him Trouble's where I'm going Trouble's the only place I've ever been Let's buy a watermelon, swallow all the seeds Forget what Mama told us, do everything we please Trouble, trouble again Trouble's where we're going Trouble's the only place we've ever been Let's pour a little whiskey, drink a little gin Listen to Merle Haggard like he's loving me again Trouble, I'm even in trouble with him Trouble's where I'm going Trouble's the only place I've ever been Let's turn off the TV, I'm tired of CNN Let's throw a little party, invite some sinners in Trouble, trouble again Trouble's where we're going Trouble's the only place we've ever been I'll paint your toenails baby, you paint my toenails too We'll take a walk down Main Street and watch what people do Trouble, let's get in trouble with them Trouble's where we're going Trouble's the only place we've ever been There's people building prisons for people like you and me Some people just can't stand people like us being free Trouble, what's trouble with them Trouble's where we're heading Trouble's the only place we've ever been Sooner or later, darling, everybody's gotta go Let's you and me leave early, get a seat on the first row Trouble, trouble again Trouble's where we're going Trouble's the only place we've ever been (c) 1996 Songs of Iris ASCAP
