Wither Away Lyrics

Well I woke up this morning it was pouring rain

Thank my lucky stars I can take the day

To rest my back and my headache

I’ve been working to hard gonna wither away

Breaking my back and bloody my hands

Killing myself just to pay the man

Try to rest my back and my headache

I’ve been working to hard gonna wither away

Wither away

Well the people always told me you gotta pay your dues

And this is your life you don't get to choose

And if you work hard, you’ll get ahead

Maybe even afford a used minivan

So I sleep a little longer than I had planned

Try not to turn into my old man

Sleep in the chair with the TV on

Seven o’clock son he’s almost gone away

He’s withered away

Wither away

Live my life for my family and friends

Killing myself and burning both ends

You can’t find yourself if you ain’t looking

Bust my ribs, a hole in my hand

Spill my soul in the back of a van

It’s hard when you know that trains a coming

You only got one chance all you got is your health

Like a sea boat captain in a midnight swell

Well the people always told me you gotta pay your dues

And this is your life you don't get to choose

If you work hard, you’ll get ahead

Maybe even afford a used minivan

So I sleep a little longer than I had planned

Try not to turn into my old man

Sleep in the chair with the TV on

Seven o’clock son he’s almost gone away

He’s withered away
