TIRED
Fred Eaglesmith
CHORUS: Don't you ever get tired of herding up those cattle
From low to high and high to low and always changing ground?
Don't you ever get tired of setting in that saddle,
Starin' at that western sky, watchin' the sun go down?
They say the blacktop's tore up right out through Topeka.
They're pulling people over and the trucks are movin' slow.
I got a friend out back. He knows a couple side roads.
The troopers stay out of there and the weigh stations are closed. CHORUS
They found old Ray McGuire last week up on Jimmy Ridge.
He was wrapped up like a mummy. He was colder than a stone.
They say they found his herd. He had them fenced and hid.
He had several different breeds and the brands weren't all his own. CHORUS
