Lyrics
" I'M IN TROUBLE"
CHORUS:
I'M IN TROUBLE, I'M IN TROUBLE
I'M IN TROUBLE, I'M IN TROUBLE
BARMAID POUR ME ANOTHER
MAKE IT A DOUBLE
V1
I WENT TO THIS BAR
JUST THE OTHER NIGHT
WHERE ALL THE LADIES
WEAR THEIR WRANGLERS REALLY TIGHT
I'M IN TROUBLE, I'M IN TROUBLE
I ASKED THIS LITTLE HONEY
IF SHE'D GO OUT WITH ME
I'M IN TROUBLE WITH A CAPITAL "T"
I'M IN TROUBLE, I'M IN TROUBLE
BARMAID POUR ME ANOTHER
MAKE IT A DOUBLE
SHE GAVE ME HER NUMBER SAID
GIVE ME A CALL
SOMEBODY GRABBED ME
THREW ME INTO A WALL
I'M IN TROUBLE
WITH A CAPITAL "T"
WHEN I LOOKED UP THERE WAS MY WIFE
STANDIN' OVER ME
CHORUS: (THEN INSTRUMENTAL BRIDGE)
V2:
I PICKED UP MY PAYCHECK
WENT TO GET IT CASHED
GET ME SOME GROCERIES
AND BUY A LITTLE GAS, BUT
I'M IN TROUBLE, I'M IN TROUBLE
THE MAN AT THE BANK SAID
"I'D HELP YOU IF I COULD,
JUST ONE LITTLE PROBLEM
THIS CHECK AIN'T NO GOOD"
I'M IN TROUBLE, I'M IN TROUBLE
BARMAID POUR ME ANOTHER
MAKE IT A DOUBLE
CHORUS:
TAG:
BARMAID POUR ME ONE MORE
WHEN I GET HOME I'LL GET WHAT FOR
BEFORE I GO HOME GIVE ME ONE MORE I'M IN TROUBLE
