Tired Of Livin'

(album: Buck Owens - 1961)

Well, I'm tired of living and I'm scared of dying
I can't get ahead and there's no use a trying
Things would better change and I ain't a lying
Something better happen pretty soon.

Yeah, the people working around and everyday
Are getting promotion and raising pay
But I keep a working the same old way
And something better happen pretty soon.

Yeah, the man next door owns a forty room shack
Rides around ever day in a big Cadillac
But I'm still walking that's a fact
Seems something better happen pretty soon.

Well, I'm tired of living and I'm scared of dying
I can't get ahead and there's no use a trying
Things would better change and I ain't a lying
Something better happen pretty soon.

[Instrumental]

Well, everybody's got a girl to call his own
But I keep on a living all alone
Like a king without a throne
Something better happen pretty soon.

Well, my brother Bill, he's a never broke
He has worked so slick and that ain't no joke
If things don't change I'm afraid I'll croak
Something better happen pretty soon.

Yeah, I'm tired of living and I'm scared of dying
I can't get ahead and there's no use a trying
Things would better change and I ain't a lying
Something better happen pretty soon...
