Lari White - Tired Lyrics
(toby keith/chuck cannon)My name is jesse, I was named after my fatherFollowed in his footsteps, down here to this factoryI aint complainin, wouldnt waste my breath to botherThis work aint hard, its only borin as can beI married billy johnson back in seventy-sevenI still love him and I guess he loves me tooWe go to church on sundays cause we want to go to heavenMe and my family, aint that how youre supposed to doBut Im tired, lord Im tiredLife is wearin me smooth down to the boneNo rest for the weary, ya just move onTired, lord Im tiredIve only missed six days in nigh on twenty years o workThe money went to taxes and these bills Ive paid on timeThe raise I got two months ago dont meet the cost o livingSelling my best years for these nickels and these dimesThe smell of billys coffee rolled me out of bed this morningI showered and dressed and then I threw some makeup onI walked in the kitchen, he was starin out the windowThe way he said good morning made me ask is something wrongHe said Im tired, woke up tiredAnd life is wearin me smooth down to the boneAnd theres no rest for the weary, you just move onI guess you just keep goin till your goneTiredOh lord, Im tiredIm tiredOh, lord Im tired
