Trouble Is A Lonesome Town Lyrics

Trouble's little and it's lonesome. You won't find it on any map. But you can take three steps in any direction, and you're there. It's a place to be born.
And it's a place to live. And it's a place to die and be forgotten. It's a town called Trouble. And Trouble is a lonesome town.

Lord, I'd like to leave this town
Lord, I'd like to leave this town
But I guess I'll hang around
But I guess I'll hang around
Trouble is a lonesome town
Trouble is a lonesome town
Trouble is where I was born
Yea Trouble is where I was born

Trouble is a lonesome town
Trouble is a lonesome town
Trouble is where I was born
Yea Trouble is where I was born
Trouble
Trouble
Trouble

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
