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 painting the town And 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 Though I'll probably die before I live all mine Up to no good livin’ now 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 and run like a dog Done a whole lotta shit not permitted by law People call me the Picasso of painting the town And 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’ now I used to curse 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’ now
