Lyrics
Up to No Good
My eyes are red like cherry tomatoes,
And my skin is as green as a vine
I can't remember just what I was drinkin'
But I damned sure can't afford the good wine
You won't believe this pain that I'm feelin'
On the single worst day of my life
And the perfume I smell on my collar
Ain't the one that I bought for my wife
Chorus:
I kicked around like I was king of the world
I strolled home at dawns early light
But now I'm feeling so low down and dirty
I was up to no good, no good last night
My lips were dry like the Mojave desert
My hands were shaking like the leaves on a tree
My wife was screaming, I no ain't dreamin'
Why can't that woman let this poor boy be
I mus have left a trail of destruction
Can't remember even where I had been
And let me say if I survive this day
You know I'll never touch a drink again
Chorus:
So lock all them doors ad close all them windows
I ain't such a beautiful sight
I'm feeling so down and oh so dirty
I was up to no good, no good last night
