Jim Croce - Careful Man lyrics

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



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'

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



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'

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
