Tired Lyrics

Tired lyrics

(Toby Keith/Chuck Cannon)

My name is Jesse, I was named after my father
Followed in his footsteps, down here to this factory
I ain`t complainin`, wouldn`t waste my breath to bother
This work ain`t hard, it`s only borin` as can be

I married Billy Johnson back in seventy-seven
I still love him and I guess he 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 wearin` 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 best years for these nickels and these dimes

The smell of Billy`s coffee rolled me out of bed this morning
I showered and dressed and then I threw some makeup on
I walked in the kitchen, he was starin` out the window
The way he said good morning made me ask is something wrong

He said I`m tired, woke up tired
And life is wearin` me smooth down to the bone
And there`s no rest for the weary, you just move on
I guess you just keep goin` till your gone
Tired

Oh Lord, I`m tired
I`m tired
Oh, Lord I`m tired
