Reed, Jerry - 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
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

Reed, Jerry Careful Man Comments
The most swingy thing I've ever heard on a nylon strings guitar. 100 % Jerry Reed stuff… on Jim Croce material. Great !
Pretty nice. Used to be a fighter, but now I'm a wiser man.....
Two all time greats Croce and Jerry Reed

R.I.P. jerry reed A.K.A. snowman & mr jim croce
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.
