|
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
|
