"If Trouble Comes a Lookin'" (Lyrics)
What is there in Little Rock at the Hilton Double Tree
Just a woman far from home a thousand miles out to sea
She walks over to the window, pulls the curtain shut
Pours three fingers of whiskey in a flimsy plastic cup
Sits down on the bedspread, takes off her wedding ring
If she does something dark enough he might just set her free
It’s her mother’s mother’s diamond in a shining golden band
Another woman who spent most her life loving the wrong man
If trouble comes a’ lookin’ she won’t be hard to find
She’s sitting in the hotel bar on her second glass of wine
She put a pretty dress on, wiped the tears out of her eyes
And if trouble comes a’lookin she won’t be hard to find
Just two floors down is Brother John from Our Lady of Grace
He is older now but handsome still with such a lonely face
He picked a hotel off the Interstate where even God won’t find him
Runs his fingers through the rosary and locks the door behind him
How was Christ so perfect, how on earth did he resist
The perfume on a woman’s neck, the softness of her lips
He burned and burned for years with the fire of devotion
But some things are impossible to stop once they’re in motion
If trouble comes a’lookin’ he won’t be hard to find
He’s sitting in the hotel bar on his second glass of wine
Across the empty room he glances up to meet her eyes
And if trouble comes a ‘lookin’ he won’t be hard to find
At quarter til the bartender will make the final call
She’ll slip down off her stool and sway slowly down the hall
And he’ll kiss her like she always wanted, back against the wall
And she’ll step out of her dress looking like Eve before the fall
If trouble comes a ‘lookin they won’t be hard to find
They’re tangled in each other’s arms in room 229
They’ve never strayed this far into the shadows of the night
And if trouble comes a’ lookin’ they won’t be hard to find
Not every infidelity is bound to end in shame
She’ll smile one month later when a letter bears his name
Brother John has gone to France and Italy to travel
Where all of his ideas of God will happily unravel
With a quarter million miles under her belt and counting, North Carolina native Emily Scott Robinson travels the dusty highways of America's wild country, capturing the stories of the people she meets and expertly crafting them into songs. Robinson received critical acclaim for her debut album Traveling Mercies-- Rolling Stone named it one of the “40 Best Country and Americana Albums of 2019.” In 2021, Robinson signed with Oh Boy records, the label founded by the legendary John Prine, and released her follow-up album American Siren. It made numerous “Best of 2021” lists including NPR, Rolling Stone, American Songwriter, and No Depression. In 2022, Robinson released a collaboration for theater called Built on Bones, a song cycle written for the Witches of Shakespeare's Macbeth, featuring artists Alisa Amador and Violet Bell.

I love your music and your voice.
Emily,
Such a fantastic album. I never get tired of listening to it. Right up there with Tyler’s Purgatory or Sturgill’s High Top Mountain.
Thank you.
What a great Songwriter!!..Love her🤗🤗🤗🤗
I love Emily so much! Her voice is angelic, and her songs are poetry; food for the soul. They truly need no accompanying video, but this one hitting simply the highlights is so well done. A beautiful interpretation while letting the song shine. The way it should be. Congratulations, Emily!! 💜
"Some things are impossible to stop once they're in motion..." I am SLAIN
Saw you in Tönder / Denmark 2023 and fell in love with this song. Thank you!
Oooooo, DoubleTrees have those amazing warm chocolate chip cookies...

Talent.
Vintage voice and articulate, contemporary lyrics.
Wonderful stuff!
I expect no less from an artist on the Oh Boy label and am never disappointed.
I’m all over this album come Monday morning!
Great video. This is my favorite song on the new release. Emily reminds me so much of the late, great Nanci Griffith...excellent songwriting (story telling)...beautiful voice...great delivery on the songs on American Siren. Emily Scott Robinson's eariler releases are also well worth listening to. I love her music.
Fantastic, and may I say perfect video for one of my favorite songs from the album. Beautiful work, Emily, and team!
Love it!
One of the best songs I've ever heard. Thanks. 😍
Really nice voice
Such ease with the lyrics, the guitar...the beauty! But something else comes out of this Siren. A mix of magic, coupled with inspiration...a touch of spunk and devil-may-care. In a world of noise, I'm so glad to be tuned to this caliber of human. Thank you Emily! Epic as always
