TIRED OF IT ALL

[Verse 1] The whistle used to wake us at a quarter to five Now it's just a rusted pole against a gray September sky Daddy's lunchbox on the shelf, never made it to the gate Sign out front says CLOSED FOR GOOD — and the county calls it fate [Pre-Chorus] We were tired of watching the fences grow tall We were tired of "sorry" sprayed across the factory wall We were tired of saying grace over an empty plate We were tired… Lord, we were tired [Chorus] We've had enough, we've had enough Of the men in suits who never drove our road We've had enough, we've had enough Of working twice as hard for half the load We ain't asking for the moon — just a chance to stand up tall But we're tired, we're tired of it all [Verse 2] Down at Miller's grocery, the prices climb the wall A dozen eggs and a gallon of gas, and I can't pay for it all My boy outgrew his work boots, my girl needs shoes for school I'm a proud man with an empty hand — and I ain't nobody's fool [Pre-Chorus] （重复，第二遍鼓进） [Chorus] （重复） [Bridge] （只留风琴与钢吉他，半声唱） They call us "country folk," write us down in books Like we're some sad old song nobody ever took But I've got hands that built this town, a name worth the ground And I won't let them bury me without a sound [Final Chorus]（升全音，加合唱） We've had enough, we've had enough… We've had enough, we've had enough… We ain't asking for the moon — just a chance to stand up tall But we're tired… we're tired of it all [Outro]（全部乐器退场，一把木吉他 + 一人清唱，近乎念白） We were tired of seeing the factories close… We were tired of not affording a thing… We've had enough. We've had enough.
