Up to No Good Livin'

Wish I could come home from working

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

Without a whole lotta shit not committed by law

People called me the Picasso-of-painting-the-town

I've finally grown up

I've finally changed in that someone I was

To somebody I am

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

I 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

Without a whole lotta shit not committed by law

People called me the Picasso-of-painting-the-town

I've finally grown up

I've finally changed in that someone I was

To somebody I am

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

And I woke up some morning 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'll hate to die before I live all my

Up-to-no-good-living-down
