Up To No Good Livin'

Wish I could come home from workin'

And not have ya checkin' 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 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 call me the Picasso of paintin' the town

But I've finally grown up

And I finally changed from that someone I was to 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 mine

Up to no good livin' down

Gave up on bringing her flowers

And that just kept making things worse

I ain't been guilty of nothin'

Of being the man she deserves

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

Done a whole lotta shit not permitted by law

People call me the Picasso of paintin' the town

But I've finally grown up

I finally changed from that someone I was to 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 mine

Up to no good livin' down

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

And I woke up some mornings with I don't know who

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

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

Up to no good livin' now

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

Up to no good livin' down
