Tired Man Lyrics

Tired Man

Well, I've got a problem

It's getting hard to handle

I've got both ends burning

On a birthday candle

I'm getting old and gray

But that's the price you pay

You got to pay your dues

When you're young and bright

You've got to make your move

And trust the time is right

And if your dream comes true

It just might rescue you

When you're a tired man

When you're a tired man

Well, I haven't given up yet

No, I haven't lost my love

For my woman I

Thank the stars above

Only still I wonder

Where my life has gone

It's come and gone like a thunderstorm

Only memories linger on

I know what you're thinking

Hey, now this guy's got it made

He's all done working

And I bet he sleeps in late

Well, I'm sleepy, yes I am

Cause I'm a tired man

You see you work yourself to death

And save for a rainy day

And when you finally catch your breath

Your health has worn away

Did I get what I deserved

Questions left unanswered

When you're a tired man

When you're a tired man

You see, I've got a problem

It's getting hard to handle

I've got both ends burning

On a birthday candle

I'm getting old and gray

But that's the price you pay
