Tired Lyrics - It Always Will Be - Willie Nelson

My name is Jackson, I was named after my father 

I followed in his footsteps down here to this factory 

And 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 Rebbecca back in seventy-seven 

And I still love her and I guess she loves me too 

We go to church on Sunday '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 

And I'm tired

Only missed six days and nights of twenty years of working 

Money went to taxes and these bills I've paid on time 

Raise I got six months ago don't meet the cost of 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 I shaved and dressed and pulled my work boots on 

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

And the way she said good morning 

Made me ask, "Is something wrong?"

She said, "I'm tired, I woke up tired" 

Life is wearin' me smooth down to the bone 

No rest for the weary, ya just move on 

And I guess we'll just keep goin' till we're gone 

And I'm tired, Lord, I'm tired 

Said, "I'm tired", Lord, I'm tired
