I am a tired man
I am expired, man
I am a tired man, more tired than you know
I'd like to come and see you, but I'm moving far too slow, oh far too slow

I am a fathered man
I can't be bothered, man
I am a fathered man, my father's only son
He said you'll get your paycheck when the working day is done
Ah but we ain't making money, no we're having too much fun, oh too much fun

And I said no man
Don't get my hopes up yet
I'm just as late as all the nights I'd just as soon forget

I am exquisite man
I'm last year's visit, man
I am exquisite like a coin that's just been tost
But tell me how much is it man I'd like to know the cost
'cause I'm stuck here in this blizzard and I'm feeling rather lost, oh mighty lost

And I said no man
Don't leave me in this snow
I'm just as bad as all the friends I'd just as well not know

I am a rendered man
I am bewildered, I am bewildered man
I am a red dirt man, my body made of clay
Your fingers helped to shape me, now it seems I'm here to stay
But I fear that if I linger, soon I'll have to go away
Ah let's think on that tomorrow, it's not a worry for today, no not today

'cause I'll say no man
Don't make me quit this place
I'm just as late as all the days I'd just as soon erase
Yeah I'm just as late as all the days I'd just as soon erase

And I said no man
And I said no man
And I said no man
And I said no man
And I said no man, don't get my hopes up yet

I am a tired man
