Jim Croce - Careful Man (dialogue) 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 old man Yeah I used to be a terror but Now I am a tired old man
