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
