Troubled Man Lyrics - Plain Spoken - 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 (Oh Lord) 

I won't do anything 

But hurt you if I can 

I am a troubled man
