Chris Stapleton - Up To No Good Livin' Lyrics
Wish I could come home from workin'
And not have her checking my breath
I'm tired of her turning her questions
Into the Gettysburg Address
The fact that she don't makes me mad
Can't count all the times that I've begged her
Honey, just let my past be the past
I used to drink like a fish and run like a dog
Done a whole lotta shit not permitted by law
People called me the Picasso of painting the town
I've finally grown up
I've finally changed
And that someone I was
But she finds it hard to believe that she's turned me around
You know I'll probably die before I live all my
Up to no good livin' down
Gave up on bringing her flowers
That just kept making things worse
I ain't been guilty of nothing
But being the man she deserves
Done a whole lotta shit not permitted by law
People called me the Picasso of painting the town
I've finally grown up
I've finally changed
And that someone I was
Is somebody I ain't
But she finds it hard to believe that she's turned me around
You know I'll probably die before I live all my
Up to no good livin' down
I used to cuss like a sailor and howl at the moon
I woke up some mornings with I-don't-know-who
You know, I'll probably die before I live all my
Up to no good livin' down
Yeah, I'd hate to die before I live all my
Up to no good livin' down

Chris Stapleton Up To No Good Livin' Comments
This song is so realalistic to so many people, that's one reason this is one of his greatest!
D A Coe would be proud
Chris Stapleton, you are more than the best since sliced bread, just love it.
Why is this not on the radio and other crap is ..... oh well thank God I got this on my playlist 🙏
Thank you Chris for bringing country music back alive we all love you an your wife can't wait to hear more got every album listen to them every day
heard this for the first time when i went into my first bar legally. so good i had to stop playing pool to listen to it
up lifter with no competition!
Sounds exactly like my life
A saver of country
Cat in the Hat
Perform for the masses and kiss their asses
From artist to Entertainer
Don't normally like trendy pop county, but this song actually sounds pretty good. Almost back like when he was with the steeldrivers.
This song reminds me of something johnny cash would have sang
Don't play this in a bar 😇
i still cuss like a sailor. but now i wake up with the same one every morning. i have stopped living up to no good, but still aint lived it all down.
Thank God for real country unlike so many pop country sell outside.
Love this song--sounds like something Waylon would write--great to hear real country for a change!!!!! Die hard Chris Stapleton fan now!!!!
There are MANY reasons!!!
Jeff Bridges sounds kinda like Chris.
Now this is real country music !!
This is me Destani Is this Jayden or caitlin
Great dance song
Chris is our next chance to (REAL) country
Real Country !!!
I feel as if Garth Brooks and Chris Stapleton should make a song!
Wish I could come home from workin'
And not have ya checkin' my breath
I'm tired of her turning her questions
Into the Gettysburg Address
There's no reason why she shouldn't trust me
The fact that she don't makes me mad
Can't count all the times that I begged her
Honey, just let my past be the past
I used to drink like a fish and run like a dog
Done a whole lotta shit not permitted by law
People call me the Picasso of painting the town
And I’ve finally grown up
I finally changed from that someone I was to somebody I ain't
But she finds it hard to believe that she’s turned me around
Though I'll probably die before I live all mine
Up to no good livin’ now
Gave up on bringing her flowers
And that just kept making things worse
I ain't been guilty of nothin'
Of being the man she deserves
I used to drink like a fish and run like a dog
Done a whole lotta shit not permitted by law
People call me the Picasso of painting the town
And I’ve finally grown up
I finally changed from that someone I was to somebody I ain't
But she finds it hard to believe that she’s turned me around
You know I'll probably die before I live all mine
Up to no good livin’ now
I used to curse like a sailor and howl at the moon
And I woke up some mornings with I don't know who
But I never dreamed back then that I'd have to pay for it now
You know I'll probably die before I live all mine
Up to no good livin’ now
Yeah I'd hate to die before I live all mine
Up to no good livin’ now
I am a proud Hispanic and real country/bluegrass makes my heart smile😍
🤷♀️ how does he do it 🙌🏻
A MAN can relate to this .
saw him at Jones Beach Theater. one of the greatest concerts I’ve ever seen.
Best song writer in the last 20 yrs I'd say he wrote for everyone out there today and yesterday too 👍💯
One the best lines ive ever heard. "People call me the picasso of painting the town"
Y'all got any of that ChRis Stapleton?
Always grab my whiskey when I play this one.
I could listen to Stapleton for hours.......over and over and still not tire
Can really relate
Today’s country isn’t even country.its more of pop.
Absolutely bad ass rebel music.
LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS SONG!!!
People call me the Picasso of paintin the town
Instant classic.. I just picture Waylon and Johnny covering your songs like they did back in the day.. they would've loved this one I'm sure.. you're putting life back into something I thought was dead.. thank you Mr Stapleton and your lovely wife for the wonderful ballads, story songs and harmonies...
Chris and Jamey Johnson should do hit together I think
Chris is country music hands down he is good that's for sure love all his music
I know what the hell he's talking about
Thank you Chris for restoring my faith in country music. Keep up the great work.
Greatest song of the last 20 years easily for me
One of my all time favorite songs! Absolutely love Chris and his wife!!!
such a great song damn
Jamey Johnson would look like a amatuer on stage with Chris folks. Be realistic. If Chris is on stage it IS Chris's stage. There is a reason not many are willing to sing with him
Wow, My life to the T....... Your the Man
Chris Stapleton has long since been a bad ass songster
Yes it was my Mother when I got Sober and Clean I was wired for at least 6yrs then I started calming down that was Really scary I didn't know myself but I kinda liked it Love you xoxoxo 💋👀🖤😊

I grew up in South Central Los Angeles and never in my wildest dreams did I ever think I would listen to country music. Ive been listening to Chris for the last 6 months and can't stop!!!! trying to make it out to Laughlin in March....
We're not nearly as different as it's made to seem, bro. Hello from south Mississippi.
His songs touch some aspect of every person in America!!!!
Probably the heaviest country song/recording I've heard in a long long long time. I mean I keep listening over and over. Wow.
My Mother was the one that always thought Everytime I went some where I would come back Messed up 1 yr Sober Clean she said 1yr is nothing I'll wait for 10yrs to see My Mother got to see that 💙💙💙💙Mama 🖤🖤🖤the song Thanks y'all💙
Its all soulful music....i love
"Steel guitar for yo behind baby!!"
260 Miserable Twonks thumbed THIS down....WTF?? Stapleton’s ROYALTY
The new Johnny cash
George Jones would love this!
I lost my wife and his songs just helps me out very song I put on just beings me to terse
DAMN MAN !!YOU AND MORGANE SOUND GREAT. LOVE THIS TUNE ! ! HELL EVERYTHING YOU DO!#!
So glad we have such great musicians Like Chris, Jamey, Eric (Church), and Zak to keep the Sam Hunt, Cole Swindell, Thomas Rhett, Brett Youngs at bay.
CHRIS STAPLETON YOU ARE SO THE SHIT! ! !
My life story sometimes u got cutt the cord for good
225 thumbs down ....wow.....I dunno where this world is headed
I know it's hard let the sleeping dog ly, but it is better to learn it Can't be judged by your past Thank y'all ✌💙
From a room volume 2 out on Dec 1st . Can't wait . If it's anything like the first one omg it'll blow me away . This guy is just the best .
Yuppp✔️✔️✔️
I love him. His voice is amazing.
NOTHIN U CAN SING/WRITE I DON'T LOVE!!! LOVE MORGANE'S VOICE-SOO PERFECT AS DUO-NOTHIN CAN STOP U BOTH <3
I don't understand why his music isn't all over the country music stations. Country music of today isn't country, it's look at me pretty boy it suks. Support Chris he's real and I bet Waylon, willie and the boys would agree. George Jones wrote a song about him long ago. (Who's gonna fill there shoes) stick to your roots Chris you got it going on. Love it
Damn that steel pickin in the chorus is nitty gritty
My 2 favorite musicians are Biggie Smalls and Chris Singleton. Go figure
What a Anthem singin with everyone in the bar!!! 💯👍
YEEEEEEEEEEEE 2 THE HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
This dude is the shit! Awesome
Chris and Jamey are the 2 best out there now.
I wish Chris Stapleton and Sturgill Simpson would set up a stage on the top of a strip mine, somewhere in East Kentucky and play for days!
country as they come he just keeps getting better
Awesome song !!! It really hits home with me . Hopefully my wife gets it & don't take it as ( I wish I had my wilder days back.) I've had my fun & Think God I'm still here to tell the tells . So many of my friends only live in my memories & the story's I tell about our wilder days .
I love his album!! It reminds me a bit of Elvis style of country.
Lovin this!
anthem of my life...
Man this is old school country. Dam the memories it brings back. Dam fuckin good music.
GREAT SONG!!!! I do believe I've lived some of those lyrics......damn great song....need a cold one for this song!
Song gives me the chills! Love it chris!
I think Cody Jinks would be good too
them stems is awesome
like wylon hes leading the way
karl lundeen
hes leading us back to where we belong
I can hear wylon
Can't wait to take my other half to see him in October!
As soon as it comes on.....I'm automatically drunk.

115 Jason Aldean fans didn't like this song.
I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR HIM COVER "CANT YOU SEE"... IT WOULD BE BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL!
i love you this music country😍😍😍
