Refrain

I been ‘buked and I been scorned.
I been talked about as sure as you’re born.
I’m gonna keep my hands on the Gospel plow.
Nobody! Nobody! NOBODY gonna turn me out!

I’m gonna find good trouble, (Good trouble),

and turn it aroun’.

Nobody gonna turn me roun’. No. No.
Nobody gonna turn me aroun’. No. No.
Ain’t gonna let nobody turn me. No. No. No.
Nobody, NO!
Won’t let ‘em turn me.

Keep on, keep walkin’, walkin,
Keep on, keep talkin’, talkin’.
Findin’ good trouble, trouble,
Marchin’, marchin’ IN to freedom lan’,
right IN to freedom lan’!
