Lynyrd Skynyrd - Double Trouble Lyrics






Eleven times I been busted, eleven times I been to jail
Some of the times I been there nobody could go my bail
Well it seems to me, Lord that this ol' boy just don't fit
Well I can jump in a rosebush and come out smelling like sh...

Those misters dressed in blue never done so right by me
Some of the times I was innocent but the judge said guilty
I'm not one to complain now son I tell you true
When the black cat cross your trail, Lord
It comes in misery times two

[Chorus]
Double trouble--that's what my friends all call me
(Double trouble)
I said, double trouble
T-R-O-U-B-L-E

Well I was born down in the gutter
With a temper as hot as fire
Spent ninety days on a peat farm just doin' the county's time
Well now, even mama said Son you're bad news
And it won't be too long before someone puts one through you

[Chorus]

[Chorus]

    Growing up, this is what they use to say about my brother and myself.

    R.... g....

    Like they said about my twin sis and I

  27. J.... W....

    My grandma used to call me and my cousin double trouble Lynyrd Skynyrd recorded this with only two lead guitarists: Allen Collins and Gary Rossington. Third lead guitarist Ed King had left just before making this album. When this album didn't sell as well as expected, another guitarist, Steve Gaines, was brought in.

  28. A.... M....

    😉👍🏻

  29. C.... B....

    An absolutely amazing song....a lot going on with music, backup and instruments....
    GREAT

  30. D.... C....

    RIP ED KING

  31. B.... R....

    super!!

  32. l.... r....

    Skynyrd is the mother fuckin best

  33. G.... M....

    I own the 45 rpm promo blue label of this tune.

  34. M.... D....

    Who in the F gives this a thumbs down?

    M.... D....

    Matthew Diamond I'd imagine DUMB-ASS northern rap-tards

    M.... D....

    That's what I want to know. Skynyrd did not have bad music at all. Some songs better than others yes but any bad songs- uh NO

  35. T.... M....

    spent 90days on a pea farm doing the county's​ time even mama said son your bad news

    T.... M....

    I think the peat farm part was lyrical license and just fit the song, but Mr. Van Zant's own mother did tell people that he was "the baddest" and that I'm sure that "son you're bad news" wasn't far off from what was said by his own mother, Marion "Sister" Van Zant.

  36. M.... M....

    always a toe tapping rythym with LS, everything they did was pure perfection, best guitar riffs ever with Allen & Gary ! 💞🎶🎤🎶🎸🎶🎼🎶🥁🎶🎙🎶🎹🎶👣🎶🦅🎶💞

    M.... M....

    S.... e....

    That's why you gotta live in the country... The only neighbors I have are in the ground (cemetery); they ain't complaining.

    S.... e....

    S.... e....

  41. S.... D....

    the best pay close attention mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Steve Durham Berea KY thkzzzzzzzzzzzz again rock n roll

  42. R.... W....

    we were on vacation in Mississippi and our family was showing us around and we drove by woods , there was smoke coming from woods and cops came and we hurried home and found out the plane carrying lynyrd skynyrd crashed ill never forget my first favorite band crashed and the man from band with cuts and blood in whites of one eye was talking about it , one sadiest days , they still will always be one of my favorite they still rock and always will god bless you all

    R.... W....

    @Barry Obama they wouldn't let you too close but there were a couple bloody standing by road before ambulance came and they blocked road , at the time driving thru we didn't know it was them just a plane crash it wasnt till we got home we seen on news it was lynard skynard and my cousins screamed nooo they were big fans and I just started liking them , I didn't see the crash on stevie ray Vaughn but I liked his music and had only started listening to him for about a year or so and he crashed in fog ,

    R.... W....

    Ron Wallace so it’s possible you saw Artimus Pyle by the side of the road. 😮

    R.... W....

    @Barry Obama I dont know who it was I didn't get a chance to look good enough , I know my cousins went back to help them but cops blocked the road wouldn't let no one in .

    R.... W....

    Did you call 911? I miss my friends. Only Gary now

    R.... W....

    @Marilee Woods did you know everybody the band personally?

  43. m.... o....

    Twooooooo times bad

  44. m.... o....

    I spent 90 days on the peat farm justa doing the countys time

  45. A.... L....

    Love those backup singers!

    A.... L....

    That would be Leslie Hawkins, Jo-Jo Billingsley and Cassie Gaines (brother of Steve).

  46. K.... J....

    Damn you can hear that Haggard influence

  47. T.... M....

    even mama says your bad news

    T.... M....

    And it wont be too long, 'for someone puts one through you

    T.... M....

    Which was actually true. Mr. Van Zant's own mother, Marion "Sister" Van Zant did indeed say "Ronnie was a mean one". So saying that line isn't far from the truth.

    T.... M....

    @Hannibal Which also almost happened in a bar and inspired the song "Gimme Three Steps".

  48. Q.... ....

    Riff so hard

  52. D.... S....

    my get up and ride song....

  53. W.... o....

    If you're a drummer, Skynyrd is like doing your own taxes.

    A great idea until you actually start it...lol. Meaning the nuances and it's timing are a lot harder than it looks.

    W.... o....

    To me thats drumming in general. Looks super easy but way more complex then it looks

  54. w.... ....

    Godamn I love this shit!

  55. B.... W....

    Bad as song it makes me wanna be an outlaw🔫

    B.... W....
