Jerry Reed - Careful Man Lyrics






I don't gamble I don't fight
I don't be hangin' around in them bars at night
Yes I used to be a fighter but now I'm a wiser man

I don't drink much I don't smoke
I don't be hardly messin' 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
Yes I used to be a lover but now I am an older man

But if you used to want to see a commotion...

Stayin' out late havin' fun
And shot off every single shot in my gun
Yes I used to be a terror but now I am a tired man
hmm hmm hmm

    Jerry Reed and Jim Croce were friends which is why Jerry decided to record the "Jerry Reed sings Jim Croce" album as a "tribute" to his friend Jim. Also checkout "Jerry Reed sings Jim Croce" which will bring up Jerry singing "I got a name" which is a MASTERPIECE! Check it out. RIP Jerry! Thanks for the music, entertainment, guitar playin' and just being yourself. Jerry and Jim are making music in heaven.

    Hot - so's the original.
    Jim & Jerry - a couple of American classics, for sure.
    RIP, both of you.
