Intro :
W ish I could come home from workin'
A nd not have her checking my breath
I 'm tired of her turning her questions
I nto the Gettysburg Address
T here's no reason why she shouldn't trust me
T he fact that she don't makes me mad
C an't count all the times that I've begged her
H oney just let my past be the past
I used to drink l ike a fish and run like a dog
Done a whole lot ta shit not permitted by law
P eople called me the Picasso of painting the to wn
I've final ly grown up
I 've finally changed
And that someon e I was
I s somebody I ain't
But s he finds it hard to believe that she's turned me around
Y ou know I'll probably die before I live all my
U p to no good livin' dow n
G ave up on bringing her flowers
T hat just kept making things worse
I ain't been guilty of nothing
B ut being the man she deserves
I used to drink l ike a fish and run like a dog
Done a whole lot ta shit not permitted by law
P eople called me the Picasso of painting the to wn
I've final ly grown up
I 've finally changed
And that someon e I was
I s somebody I ain't
But s he finds it hard to believe that she's turned me around
Y ou know I'll probably die before I live all my
U p to no good livin' dow n
I used to cuss li ke a sailor and howl at the moon
I woke up some mornings with I-don't-know-who
B ut I never dreamed back then I'd have to pay for it now
Y ou know I'll probably die before I live all my
U p to no good livin' down
Y eah I'd hate to die before I live all my
Up to no good livin' do wn
