Tired of Livin' Songtext
von Buck Owens

Well, I′m tired of livin' and I′m scared of dyin'
I can't get ahead and there′s no use tryin′
Things would better change and I ain't lyin′
Somethin' better happen pretty soon

Yeah, the people workin′ around me everyday
Are gettin' promotion and raisin′ pay
But I keep workin' the same old way and
And somethin' better happen pretty soon
Yeah, the man next door owns a 40 room shack
Rides around everyday in a big Cadillac
But I′m still walkin′, that's a fact
And 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 tryin′
Things would better change and I ain′t lyin'
Somethin′ better happen pretty soon

Well, everybody's got a girl to call his own
But I keep on livin′ all alone
Like a king without a throne
Somethin' better happen pretty soon

Well, my brother Bill, he′s never broke
He never 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 tryin'
Things would better change and I ain′t lyin′
Somethin' better happen pretty soon

Yeah, somethin′ better happen pretty soon
