Well I`m tired of livin` and I`m scared of dyin`
I can`t get ahead and there`s no use a tryin`
Things would better change and I ain`t a lyin` somethin` better happen pretty soon
Yeah the people workin` around and everyday are gettin` promotion and raisin` pay
But I keep a workin` the same old way and somethin` better happen pretty soon
Yeah the man next door owns a forty room shack
Rides around ever day in a big Cadillac
But I`m still walkin` that`s a fact seems somethin` better happen pretty soon
Well I`m tired of livin`...
[ fiddle - steel ]
Well everybody`s got a girl to call his own but I keep on a livin` all alone
Like a king without a throne somethin` better happen pretty soon
Well my brother Bill he`s a never broke he have worked so lick and that ain`t no joke
If things don`t change I`m afraid I`ll croak somethin` better happen pretty soon
Yeah I`m tired of livin`...
