Careful Man

(album: Life And Times - 1973)

I don't gamble, I don't fight,
I don't be hanging 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.

But 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".

Staying out late, having fun
And shot off every single shot in my gun.
Yeah, I used to be a lover but
Now I'm an older man.

But 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".

Staying out late, having fun
And shot off every single shot in my gun.
Yeah I used to be a terror but
Now I am a tired old man.
Yeah I used to be a terror but
Now I am a tired old man.
