Tired
(专辑: Dream Walkin' - 1997)
My name is Jackson, I
was named after my father Followed in his footsteps, down here to this factory I
ain't complaining, wouldn't waste my breath to bother This work ain't hard, it's only boring as can be Married Rebecca back in seventy-seven I
still love her and I
guess she loves me too We go to church on Sundays 'cause we want to go to heaven Me and my family, ain't that how you're supposed to do But I'm tired, Lord I'm tired Life is wearing me smooth down to the
bone No rest for the
weary, ya just move on Tired, Lord I'm tired I've only missed six days in nigh on twenty years o' work The
money went to taxes and these bills I've paid on time The
raise I
got two months ago don't meet the
cost o' living Selling my body for these nickels and these dimes The
smell of Becky's coffee rolled me out of bed this morning I
showered and shaved and dressed and pulled my work boots on Walked in the
kitchen, she was staring out the
window The
way she said good morning made me ask is something wrong She said I'm tired, woke up tired Life is wearing me smooth down to the
bone No rest for the
weary, ya just move on I
guess you just keep going till your gone Tired, Lord I'm tired Tired, Lord I'm tired
