Jim Croce Careful Man song 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.
