Lyrics Mark Lanegan – Frog Trouble

There’s a wind from the west
And it blows mighty restless and free
And you know that it’s best
If you go for there surely will be

Okay, stranger
You don’t know me and I don’t know you
But I’m telling you this and it might be true
There’s only one thing gets a cowboy down
It’s the kind of trouble that we’ve got in this town

Frog trouble
(Frog trouble, frog trouble, hmm-mmm)

When I’m walking along mindin’ my own
Business, they ought’a leave me alone
If you ask me how I’m doin’ today
I shake my head, I got two words to say

Frog trouble, and here’s two more
Frog trouble, hmm-mmm

I’ve known about heartache and what it can do
Since the great frog rush of ’42
When brave folks travelled from far and wide
And all of them dreamed and all of them sighed

(Frog trouble) frog trouble, that’s what they said
Frog trouble

Now you seem confused by the things that I say
What is this frog trouble anyway
Come a little closer and I’ll tell you my friend
I don’t know either, It’s just pretend

Frog trouble, I made it all up
Yup

I’ve never met frogs face-to-faces
I don’t know any frogs on a first-name basis
And it’s hard to imagine what the trouble might be
But I like to say it importantly

Frog trouble (bad, bad)
Frog trouble

So you don’t know me and I don’t know you
But I’m telling you this and it might be true
There’s only one thing gets a cowboy down
It’s the kind of trouble that we’ve got in this town

Frog trouble, it’s been pretty rough
(Frog trouble) you gotta be tough
Frog trouble

Oh no, just what I need
(Trouble) another frog stampede
Frog trouble (frog trouble)
Frog trouble (frog trouble)
Frog trouble, Hmm-mmm
