Careful Man by Jim Croce
Careful Man
Capo:no capo
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
CHORUS:
But if you used to want to see a commotion
You should have 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 am an older man
(REPEAT CHORUS)
(REPEAT LAST VERSE, New last line:)
Yeah I used to be a terror but now I am a tired man
