Lyrics for Careful Man
I don't gamble, I don't fight I don't be hangin' in the bars at night Yeah I used to be a fighter but Now I am a wiser man I don't drink much, I don't smoke I don't be hardly mess around with no dope Yeah I used to be a problem but Now I am a careful man Well if you used to want to see a commotion You shoulda seen the man that I used to be I was trouble in perpetual motion Trouble with a capital "T" Stayin' out late, havin' fun And shot off every single shot in my gun Yeah I used to be a lover but Now I'm an older man Well if you used to want to see a commotion You shoulda seen the man that I used to be I was trouble in perpetual motion Trouble with a capital "T" Stayin' out late, havin' fun And shot off every single shot in my gun Yeah I used to be a lover but Now I'm an older man Well if you used to want to see a commotion You shoulda seen the man that I used to be I was trouble in perpetual motion Trouble with a capital "T" Stayin' out late, havin' fun And shot off every single shot in my gun Yeah I used to be a terror but Now I am a tired man Yeah I used to be a terror but Now I am a tired man
