Trouble

I walked out of Kingston
A free man
My brother pulled up in a dust of a step-side shill
Threw my duffle in the back
Reached in and shook his hand
Drove out to the roadhouse pub
I don't have a lot of friends
But I've always had him
For a guy like me
That's enough

I don't look for trouble but trouble finds me
I don't look for trouble but trouble finds me
If I could learn to back down
Maybe find a gentler crowd
Maybe I could change who I've been
I ain't looking for your trouble
But you always find me

When I stayed in Brampton
At a halfway house
Got a job at a shop, solid friends
And some pretty good hours
But after work one night
My Ojibwe friend
Couple rougneck boys put the boots to him
I never learned another way
So I gave them all my hate
And the 5-0 dragged me away
And I'm thinking

I don't look for trouble but trouble finds me
I don't look for trouble but trouble finds me
If I could learn to back down
Maybe find a gentler crowd
Maybe I could change who I've been
I ain't looking for your trouble
Why you always find me?

Now I have a son just born to my beautiful wife
And I'm going to try hard as hell to give him a different kind of life
When the wolf is at my door
I don't feed him anymore
I stand down every chance I get
It ain't that I can't, I just see that little man
And the road for him lies ahead

I don't look for trouble
Trouble can't find me
I don't look for trouble
Trouble can't find me
Yeah I've learned to back down
I found a gentler crowd
I'm trying to change who I've been
Come looking for me trouble
You ain't gonna find find me
