Tired Lyrics - Lari White

(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
