Troubled Man

Troubled Man -John Mellencamp

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

I won't do anything

But hurt you if I can

I am a troubled man
