    Story Behind the Song
    I'm retired...REALLY, I am! I don't play on the street to "make" money anymore...not that I EVER did it to "make" money...Well, then, Jesse why do you play...I saw you last week...Because the spirit moved me...Oh, I see, when you gonna play again? When the SPIRIT moves me...When will that be? On the SPUR of the moment! See ya there!!

    Lyrics
    I'm so tired, I'm so tired, So sorely tired
    I'm so tired, I'm so tired, So sorely tired
    I hear the same thing, over and over
    As I play my part of rambling rover
    And I'm so tired, so sorely tired

    How do you make a living, you doing this for money?
    I reply, "I'm right here, giving all that I am, it ain't even funny
    To hear you all carry on this way, I do it because I love to play
    I do it, I do it, I do it, do it, I do it because I love to play."

    I'm so tired, I'm so tired, So sorely tired
    I'm so tired, I'm so tired, So sorely tired
    I hear the same thing, over and over
    As I play my part of rambling rover
    And I'm so tired, so sorely tired

    Now, consider the lilies, as you toil, and the clock spins
    No need to get the "willies", roll that stone over, 'til the rock grins
    Give yourself a chance to dance, in a trance, you got no life if you got no dance
    Give yourself, give yourself, give yourself, yourself
    Give yourself a chance to dance up a trance

    Well, now, I'm retired, Yes, I'm retired, with love inspired
    Yes, I'm retired, I'm retired, with love inspired
    I sing the same song, over and over
    As sweet as honey, from wildest clover
    And I'm retired, with love inspired
    I sing the same song, over and over
    As sweet as honey, from wildest clover
    And I'm retired, with love inspired
    Yes, I'm retired, now, with love inspired
