Scorching and emotional slow Blues-Rocker about a woman down on her luck through no fault of her own. PRO RECORDING
My name is Susan Carter
I'm not a girl you?d wanna meet
I'm staying at the shelter
Till I get back on my feet
I come from good people
Raised the American way
I wasn't inviting trouble
It showed up anyway
My husband was a good man
Who loved his family
Till they shut down the auto plant
And moved it overseas
He left me with the children
And another one on the way
I wasn't inviting trouble
It showed up anyway
I never imagined
I'd be living on the street
And couldn't feed my children
Or put shoes on their feet
Now the social worker
Wants to take my kids away
I swear I never invited trouble
It just showed up anyway
They say it's a temporary
Situation I'm in
But it's been so long already
Sometimes I can't see it end
And if you think I'm lazy
I've got just one thing to say:
I never invited trouble
Trouble came anyway
Trouble came anyway
Trouble came anyway
My name is Susan Carter
I'm not a girl you'd wanna meet
I'm staying at the shelter
Till I get back on my feet
