Up To No Good Livin'
Redemption's Struggle: A Tale of Changed Ways
Lyrics
Wish I could come home from workin'
Expressing a desire to return home from work
And not have ya checkin' my breath
Frustration about being questioned about alcohol consumption
I'm tired of her turning her questions
Complaining about the partner's extensive questioning
Into the Gettysburg Address
Comparing partner's questions to a lengthy and detailed speech
There's no reason why she shouldn't trust me
Asserting trustworthiness and frustration at lack of trust
The fact that she don't makes me mad
Expressing anger about the partner's lack of trust
Can't count all the times that I begged her
Recalling past pleas to let go of previous mistakes
Honey, just let my past be the past
Pleading with the partner to move beyond the past
I used to drink like a fish and run like a dog
Describing past reckless behavior with drinking and running
Done a whole lotta shit not permitted by law
Admitting to engaging in unlawful activities
People call me the Picasso of paintin' the town
Self-proclaimed expertise in living recklessly
But I've finally grown up
Acknowledging personal growth and maturity
And I finally changed from that someone I was to somebody I ain't
Reflecting on the positive changes from the past
But she finds it hard to believe that she's turned me around
Expressing frustration that the partner doubts the transformation
You know I'll probably die before I live all my
Anticipating a premature death before completing personal growth
Up to no good livin' down
Stating a commitment to leaving behind a life of mischief
Gave up on bringing her flowers
Abandoning gestures of apology that worsen the situation
And that just kept making things worse
Failure to meet the partner's expectations as a deserving man
I ain't been guilty of nothin'
Claiming innocence and undeserved guilt
Of being the man she deserves
Admitting past irresponsible behavior
I used to drink like a fish, run like a dog
Recalling past reckless behavior with drinking and running (repeated)
Done a whole lotta shit not permitted by law
Admitting to engaging in unlawful activities (repeated)
People call me the Picasso of paintin' the town
Self-proclaimed expertise in living recklessly (repeated)
But I've finally grown up
Reflecting on personal growth and maturity (repeated)
I finally changed from that someone I was to somebody I ain't
Reflecting on the positive changes from the past (repeated)
But she finds it hard to believe that she's turned me around
Expressing frustration that the partner doubts the transformation (repeated)
You know I'll probably die before I live all my
Anticipating a premature death before completing personal growth (repeated)
Up to no good livin' down
Stating a commitment to leaving behind a life of mischief (repeated)
I used to cuse like a sailor and howl at the moon
Describing past profanity and wild behavior
And I woke up some mornings with I don't know who
Revealing consequences of past actions with unknown individuals
But I never dreamed back then that I'd have to pay for it now
Expressing regret for the unforeseen consequences of past actions
You know I'll probably die before I live all my
Anticipating a premature death before completing personal growth (repeated)
Up to no good livin' now
Stating a commitment to leaving behind a life of mischief (repeated)
Yeah, I'd hate to die before I live all my
Expressing a desire to live a reckless life before death
Up to no good livin' down
Stating a commitment to leaving behind a life of mischief (repeated)
