I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired
My patience just expired
Couldn't feel any closer
Life being over
And I'm just trying to keep a head on my shoulder
As I grow another day older
Will I grow another day colder?
Will I flash a smile for a while?
Life ain't nothing but a clock moving steady
And I ain't really sure I'm ready
It ain't up to me
But I'm just sick and tired of being sick and tired
I read the book, but I didn't learn
Saw the map, but I missed the turn
I've had some things that sure turned real bad
And I've had a moment for another day
And I bow my head and I start praying
Just ask for sympathy, but happiness ain't meant for me
And I'm just trying to keep a head on my shoulder
As I grow another day older
Will I grow another day colder?
Will I flash a smile for a while?
Life ain't nothing but a clock moving steady
And I ain't really sure I'm ready
It ain't up to me
But I'm just sick and tired of being sick and tired
Every thought's running through my head
About some things I never said
To folks that have moved on
And I say it ain't long
And I'm just trying to keep a head on my shoulder
As I grow another day older
Will I grow another day colder?
Will I flash a smile for a while?
Life ain't nothing but a clock moving steady
And I ain't really sure I'm ready
It ain't up to me
But I'm just sick and tired of being sick and tired
