i'm tired a bein'
a lonely old man.
guess it scares me
that when
it' all done&said
i ain't gonna' be
more than i had.

old or young,
a new song i'd sung,
that is people
that's set&dun.

oh well,
oh hell,
yeah i be
an oldly me.

damn i'm tired
a bein'
tired n' seein'
the same old day.
tired a bein'
this same old way.

tired a' tired.
tired a mired'.
wanna' be wired
with a new string.
yeah, sumpin new,
that'd be the thing.

give me a new song.
yeah i could sing.
tired' a' this song,
already sung.
tired a bein'
an old man,
already sung.

Nice mellow tired tone...(smiles) enjoyed reading cause "tired" speaks to that space I seem to find myself wandering about most days.

Oh I got plenty of songs. sit in on my class sometimes.

Just what makes that tired ole'man
sing that tired ole' song once again
he may just need a swift kick
in the back of his can
to give him...
High hopes...
