Tired Lyrics - Dream Walkin' - Toby Keith

My name is Jackson, 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 

Married Rebecca back in seventy-seven 

I still love her and I guess she 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 body for these nickels and these dimes

The smell of Becky's coffee rolled me out of bed this morning 

I showered and shaved and dressed and pulled my work boots on 

Walked in the kitchen, she was starin' out the window 

The way she said good morning made me ask is something wrong 

She said I'm tired, woke up tired 

Life is wearin' me smooth down to the bone 

No rest for the weary, ya just move on 

I guess you just keep goin' till your gone 

Tired, Lord I'm tired 

Tired, Lord I'm tired
