Lyrics

Wired and tired
Got an aching head
Never felt like it was time for bed
now it's mornin'
Good morning
Lots to do but now I'm runnin' late
The bills on the table gonna have to wait
Cause I'm tired-I'm so tired

chorus...
so you call this living
it don't feel like anything at all
Hang your dreams on the highest star
Now watch them fall

I'd like to sleep and it would do me good
But the fire went out and i'm all out of wood
And it's freezing, Man it's cold
Closing time now finish up your beer
You don't have to go home but you can't stay here
But thanks for comin' and stop back soon

chorus...
A couple a girls say they love me bad
The most useless friends that I ever had
But they love - yea well
I've got some plans, if i could just get a grip
But the harder I try, the further back they slip
So here i am...still
chorus...
