up to no good livin'

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
