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 
And the way she said good morning made me ask is something wrong 
 
 
Chorus 2: 
She said I'm tired, I woke up tired 
Life is wearin' me smooth down to the bone 
With no rest for the weary, ya just move on 
And I guess you just keep goin' till your gone 
Tired, Lord I'm tired 
Tired, Lord I'm tired
