Toby Keith - Tired Lyrics
(toby keith/chuck cannon)My name is jackson, 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 beMarried rebecca back in seventy-sevenI still love her and I guess she 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 body for these nickels and these dimesThe smell of beckys coffee rolled me out of bed this morningI showered and shaved and dressed and pulled my work boots onWalked in the kitchen, she was starin out the windowThe way she said good morning made me ask is something wrongShe said Im tired, woke up tiredLife is wearin me smooth down to the boneNo rest for the weary, ya just move onI guess you just keep goin till your goneTired, lord Im tiredTired, lord Im tired
