Lyrics
It's the wake of all evil
A universal mess
I've always found trouble
Even at my best
No hopes to get better
Until they put me down to rest
I am a troubled man
Anxiety and sorrow
Underneath my skin
Self destruction and failure
Have beat my head in
I laughed out loud once
I won't do that again
I've always traveled the hellfire road
And tasted the sweet smell of sin
I am a troubled man
I am a troubled man
I am a troubled man
I am a troubled man
So many things
Have gone through my hands
I am a troubled man
People up on the east side
People on the gravel road
People of many colors
Whose stories have never been told
Too late came too early
For me to face myself
I am a troubled man
I am a troubled man
I am a troubled man (Oh Lord)
I won't do anything
But hurt you if I can
I am a troubled man
Writer(s): John Mellencamp
