HAVE YOU HEARD OF ME (Gabe Zander/BMI) 2003

(fast country/bluegrass beat)

  E
I grew up with my family on a dirt road in the woods;
The townfolk said we's white trash, and none of us was good.
Have you heard of me? Have you heard of me?
I got this mullet haircut, and a mustache down to my throat;
Most guys'd get laughed at, but me? Ya know I don't.
Have you heard of me? Have you heard of me?
                              B           Bb A G E
Have you heard of me? I cause trouble wherever I go.

My daddy used to beat me just to keep me in line;
He beat my mom in public once; now he's doing time.
Have you heard of me? Have you heard of me?
He used to tell us stories; I guess he thought we'd care,
About his old job, strappin' bad guys in the chair.
Have you heard of me? Have you heard of me? 
Have you heard of me? I cause trouble wherever I go.

The folks around town are always talkin' trash about my name,
Saying me and my family brought the community to shame.
Have you heard of me? Have you heard of me?
Everyone I touch ends up in a hospital bed,
Be it a battered dude or a girl there to abort my unborn kid.
Have you heard of me? Have you heard of me?
Have you heard of me? I cause trouble wherever I go.

They say I killed some nigger, 'cause he gypped me on some crack;
I chased him down the alleyway and stabbed him in the back.
Have you heard of me? Have you heard of me?
So now I'm off to live the nightmare I've had since I was a kid,
Gonna fry in the electric chair for crimes we all know I did.
Have you heard of me? Have you heard of me?
Have you heard of me? I cause trouble wherever I go.

(break)

Well, you'll think you've heard the last of me when I'm six feet underground,
But you know that I could never bare to leave this little town.
Have you heard of me? Have you heard of me?
You'll know my restless spirit is out lookin' for a fight,
When you hear these words echo through the town streets late at night:
Have you heard of me? Have you heard of me?
Have you heard of me? I cause trouble wherever I go.

I cause trouble wherever I go.
