(toby keith/chuck cannon)
My name is jesseI was named after my father
Followed in his footstepsdown here to this factory
I ain’t complainin’wouldn’t waste my breath to bother
This work ain’t hardit’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 familyain’t that how you’re supposed to do
But I’m tiredlord I’m tired
Life is wearin’ me smooth down to the bone
No rest for the wearyya just move on
Tiredlord 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 kitchenhe was starin’ out the window
The way he said good morning made me ask is something wrong
He said I’m tiredwoke up tired
And life is wearin’ me smooth down to the bone
And there’s no rest for the wearyyou just move on
I guess you just keep goin’ till your gone
Tired
Oh lordI’m tired
I’m tired
Ohlord I’m tired
