Wish I could come home from workin'

And not have her checking my breath

I'm tired of her turning her questions

Into the gettysburg address.

There's no reason why she shouldn't trust me

The fact that she don't makes me mad

Can't count all the times that I've begged her

Honey, just let my past be the past.

I used to drink like a fish and run like a dog

Done a whole lotta shit not permitted by law

People called me the picasso of painting the town

I've finally grown up

I've finally changed

And that someone I was

Is somebody I ain't

But she finds it hard to believe that she's turned me around

You know I'll probably die before I live all my

Up to no good livin' down.

Gave up on bringing her flowers

That just kept making things worse

I ain't been guilty of nothing

But being the man she deserves.

I used to drink like a fish and run like a dog

Done a whole lotta shit not permitted by law

People called me the picasso of painting the town

I've finally grown up

I've finally changed

And that someone I was

Is somebody I ain't

But she finds it hard to believe that she's turned me around

You know I'll probably die before I live all my

Up to no good livin' down.

I used to cuss like a sailor and howl at the moon

I woke up some mornings with i-don't-know-who

But I never dreamed back then I'd have to pay for it now

You know, I'll probably die before I live all my

Up to no good livin' down

Yeah, I'd hate to die before I live all my

Up to no good livin' down.
