Troubles Of My Own - Charlie Daniels

I was minding my business the other day

Just junking on down the street

When I seen this perfect stranger

And he come sliding up next to me

He said friend, my old lady just threw me out

And why I just don’t know

But it ain’t no joke cause

I’m hungry and broke I got no place to go

I gave him my last twenty dollar bill

And told him to go on home

And leave me alone

I don’t want nobody whining at me

I don’t need nobody moaning to me

I don’t want nobody crying on me

I’ve got troubles of my own

Well I went on down to this joint in town

And found something I didn’t expect

I was having a ball when the door flew open

And who walked in but my ex

She said your alimony payments

Are way behind it’s six months over due

And if you don’t straighten this out

Right now I’m going call the law to you

I said baby you’d better remember

Every dog’s going to have his day

And I just want to say

The cops came through the front door

And I went out the back

And I caught me a ride

On a west bound freight train

Rolling down the rail-road track

I went on out to east St Louis

And looked up this old friend of mine

I said I need a place to lay my head

And brother I ain’t got a dime

He said you’d better get on out of here boy

And he pulled out a gun

And I started to run
