Joy For My Trouble

 

Verse 1:

Well I been through Hell and I’m never going back

Devil you can take the worry off of my back

There’s a big feast in front of me and I’m about to eat

Join me at the table; I’ll be happy to feed

‘Cuz I do hope you, come into the party that I started for you

And I do love you, like I would a baby in the waiting room

　

Chorus:

I was told by the Lord, He’ll be happy to reward

A little joy for my trouble, trouble, trouble

Life ain’t a toy; Go ahead enjoy

Goodness by the double, double, double

　

Verse 2:

I got on track and I’m never looking back

Devil you can try to push me off of the path

I see your big pot of gold right in front of my nose

But them riches don’t compare to what I got in my soul

But I do hope you, know I wish you well in everything that you do

And I do want you, moseying your way up out my spirit for good

　

Chorus:

I was told by the Lord, He’ll be happy to reward

A little joy for my trouble, trouble, trouble

Life ain’t a toy; Go ahead enjoy

Goodness by the double, double, double
