Tired of Livin' - Buck Owens

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' 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

--- Instrumental ---

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 has worked so slick 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' 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…
