The precursor to BTO was the band Brave Belt, formed in 1970 by Randy Bachman and Chad Allan (both of The Guess Who), Robbie Bachman and Fred Turner. An original plan included Keith Emerson of The Nice, though he was dropped due to illness. After two moderately successful Brave Belt albums, Allan was replaced by Tim Bachman, the third of the Bachman brothers, and the band changed its name to Bachman-Turner Overdrive. BTO released their first album under that name in the spring of 1973. Their second album was Bachman-Turner Overdrive II, and it became a massive hit in the US and their native Canada.

Don't Get Yourself In Trouble Lyrics

Bachman-Turner Overdrive

Everybody's been standing around like they're ready
Everybody's been going around carrying signs

Come on and get a few things back together
And don't get lost in the stormy weather
Or when you're flying like birds of a feather

Don't get yourself in trouble
Don't get yourself in trouble
Don't get yourself in trouble
Don't get yourself in trouble
(Here comes trouble now)

Everybody's been standing around like they're ready
Everybody's been going around carrying signs

Just keep on dancing to the music
It's the only way you're gonna use it
And when you shake your money maker

Don't get yourself in trouble
Don't get yourself in trouble
Don't get yourself in trouble
Don't get yourself in trouble

Everybody's been standing around like they're ready
Everybody's been going around carrying signs

Come on and get a few things back together
Don't get lost in the stormy weather
And when you're flying around like birds of a feather

Don't get yourself in trouble
Don't get yourself in trouble
Don't get yourself in trouble
Don't get yourself in trouble ...
