Ghost Lee Waters - Tired of Livin’, Tired of Dyin’ Blues

Woke up this mornin’, didn’t feel a damn thing at all. Yeah, I woke up this mornin’, didn’t feel a damn thing at all. I keep breathin’ out of habit, just waitin’ on the call. Ain’t no joy in the whiskey, ain’t no peace in the prayer. Yeah, ain’t no joy in the whiskey, ain’t no peace in the prayer. I been talkin’ to my shadow, but he don’t even care. I got them tired of livin’, tired of dyin’ blues. Yeah, I’m stuck in the middle, with nothin’ left to lose. If Heaven won’t take me, Hell might refuse. I walked that long road, where the good men fall apart. Yeah, I walked that long road, where the good men fall apart. I left my faith in a ditch, and kept the rust in my heart. I ain’t lookin’ for mercy, and I sure ain’t beggin’ for rest. I just want the noise to stop… the one that hums inside my chest. I got them tired of livin’, tired of dyin’ blues. Yeah, I’m stuck in the middle, with nothin’ left to lose. If Heaven won’t take me, Hell might refuse. Got them tired of livin’, tired of dyin’ blues. Yeah, my hands are empty, ain’t fuckin’ nothin’ left but to fuckin’ lose. I just drift through the silence, and let the dark light me a fuse.
