Merle Haggard

The Only Trouble With Me

I receive my big promotion, down at the lumber yard

And my income tax return will soon be due

I just made my last big payment on my 68 Corver

The only trouble with me is you

I came up with a winnin' ticket on a ocean liner cruise

And the trip and everything was planned for two

And I arranged for our vacation and the time I thought we'd leave

Now the only trouble, at all, is you

Yeah, the only trouble with me is you

And it's driving me out of my mind

Hey, I've done everything a man can do

And you refuse me every time

I gave up my bachelor quarters where the secret bet comes down

And the vices that I'm guilty of, are few

And everyone who knows me, says, I'm fun to be around

Oh, the only trouble with me is you

Yeah, the only trouble with me is you

And it's driving me out of my mind

Hey, I've done everything a man can do

And you refuse me every time

I gave up my bachelor quarters where the secret bet comes down

And the vices that I'm guilty of, are few

And everyone who knows me, says, I'm fun to be around

Hey, the only trouble with me is you

Yeah, the only trouble with me is you
