I wish I could come home from workin' And not have a check in my breast I'm tired of her turnin' her question Into the Gettysburg Address There's no reason why she shouldn't trust me The fact that she don't makes me mad I can't count all the times that I've begged her To just let my past be the past I used to drink like a fish, run like a dog And a whole lot of shit, not permitted by law People call me the Picasso of paintin' 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 turnin' me around You know I'll probably die before I live all my Up to no good livin' down I gave up on bringin' her flowers And that just kept makin' things worse I ain't been guilty of nothin' But bein' the man she deserves I used to drink like a fish, run like a dog And a whole lot of shit, not permitted by law People call me the Picasso of paintin' 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 turnin' 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 fish and howl at the moon I woke up some mornin' but 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 Thanks for watching!
