My long time friend Kevin Wolfe was mowing the grass listening to his ipod when the George Thorogood song “I Don’t Trust Nobody” came on. Kevin is tuned into the Trust Tour and took note of the lyrics. The song is about mistrust of everyone, he says…
When it comes to my girl
I don’t trust nobody
When it come to my girl
You know things are gettin’ funny
All over the worldNow this old man
You know they call him James
When night begin to fall
You know he change his name
At ten o’clock at night
They all go out to play
Twelve o’clock comes
He says “Come to Annie Mae”I don’t trust nobody
When it comes to my girl
Things are gettin’ funny
All over the worldNow this fine fox
That lives on my block
When she begin to walk
You know cars begin to stop
Finest little thing
That you’ll ever see
She’s the same one
Took my woman from meI don’t trust nobody
When it comes to my girl
Things are gettin’ funny
All over the worldIt ain’t always a man
Who acts like a flirt
It ain’t always a man
That gets your daughter hurt
It ain’t always a man
Who drags her in the dirt
It ain’t always a woman
Who wears a mini skirtI don’t trust nobody
When it come to my girl
Yeah, things are gettin’ funny
All over this worldI don’t trust nobody
When it come to my girl
I don’t trust nobody
When it come to my girl
Not a doggone soul
You know things are gettin’ funny
All over this world
Yeah, things are gettin’ funny
All over this world
I don’t trust nobody
When it come to my girl
I don’t trust my best friend
I don’t trust my brother
I don’t trust my father
I don’t trust you
I don’t even trust the president
When it come to my girl
But really, it is true that you can’t trust nobody? If that is true, then you can’t trust “your girl” and without trust the relationship is doomed to end. So, I think the better idea is to trust the person you are committed to. Trust that they will do the right thing, trust that they will keep integrity and honor in their life. Stay connected, communicate, communicate, communicate. Trust starts within yourself and builds upon this foundation.
