[Verse 1]
D C** G**
My name is Jackson, I was named after my father,
D C** D**
I followed in his footsteps down here to this factory.
D C** G**
And I ain't complainin', wouldn't waste my breath to bother,
D C** D
this work ain't hard, it's only borin' as can be.
[Verse 2]
D C** G**
I married Rebbecca back in seventy-seven
D C** D**
and I still love her and I guess she loves me too.
D C** G**
We go to church on Sunday 'cause we want to go to heaven,
D C** D
me and my family, ain't that how you're supposed to do?
[Chorus]
Em D C** G** D
But I'm tired, Lord, I'm tired, life is wearin' me smooth down to the bone.
C** G** D Em Em*
No rest for the weary, ya just move on and I'm tired.
[Verse 3]
D C** G**
Only missed six days and nights of twenty years of working,
D C** D**
money went to taxes and these bills I've paid on time.
D C** G**
Raise I got six months ago, don't meet the cost of living,
D C** D D
selling my body for these nickels and these dimes.
[Bridge]
Bm C** G**
The smell of Becky's coffee rolled me out of bed this morning,
Bm C** G**
I showered and I shaved and dressed and pulled my work boots on.
D C** G**
Walked in the kitchen and she was starin' out of the window,
D C* D
and the way she said good morning made me ask, "Is something wrong?"
[End-Chorus]
Em D
She said, "I'm tired, I woke up tired",
C** G** D
life is wearin' me smooth down to the bone.
C** G** D
No rest for the weary, ya just move on
C** G** D
and I guess we'll just keep goin' till we're gone.
Em Em D D
And I'm tired, Lord, I'm tired,
Em Em D D
said, "I'm tired", Lord, I'm tired.
[Outro] (Repeat and Fade Out)
