about

Trouble
By Stan Snow

Sometimes, when I’m writing a tune I don’t know what it’s going to be about until I create the first few lines. On this song, I came up with the opening guitar riff and the lyric followed. Turns out the song is about cheating. Peggy catches her man cheating with another woman. She then gets her gun, loads it and proceeds to head down the path towards the gallows, if she decides to pull the trigger. She is delaying her decision, drinking heavily, and contemplating her next move. Will she kill him? We don’t know. What we do know, is that she’s in trouble.

I played a Gibson Southern Jumbo acoustic (signed by Sheryl Crow), a Rickenbacker bass, a ’60 Les Paul, an Asher lap steel, a ’61 tele, a Gretsch Duo Jet and a Hammond B3 organ by Arturia.

lyrics

Caught cold in the middle of a frozen night
Peggy took her pistol and she loaded all the ammo in sight
She never knew how he got so bad
He always told her she was all that he had
Every time he went to make a new start
She bought a ticket to a broken heart

Trouble
She’s in trouble with the law if she takes that gun
Trouble
She’s in trouble like a bird flyin’ into the sun

Jack Daniels in the middle of a stressful day
Seems to take the edge off any thoughts of puttin’ cheaters away
But Peggy couldn’t get her mind on track
All she thought about was getting him back
He never knew she could be so mean
Like a fire in room full of gasoline

Trouble
She’s in trouble with the law if she takes that gun
Trouble
She’s in trouble like a bird flyin’ into the sun

Trouble
She’s in trouble with the law if she takes that gun
Trouble
She’s in trouble like a bird flyin’ into the sun
