TIRED OF TRYIN'
Johnny Winter
© Winter Blues Music, Inc. (BMI)

CHORUS: Tired of tryin',
Man, I'm so tired of tryin'.
Well, I'm tired of tryin',
Tryin' to get along with you.

You put salt in my coffee,
And sawdust in my food,
And I'm just here to ask you, dear,
Don't you think that's mighty rude?

You keep tellin' me, mama,
You don't need no other men.
I really do believe it's true.
You already got nine or ten.

I just want you, baby,
To be good and true.
You just sit there and look at me
Like it's much too much from you.

Yes, I'm leavin' town this mornin'.
You can call me at dawn.
I got to find somebody new
To carry my business on.

[Recorded by Johnny Winter and by Eric Sardinas.]
