So Dog Gone Tired Poem by Dorsey Baker

I'm tired of drinking beer
I'm tired of drinking whiskey
I just want
a drink of water
because I'm thirsty
I'm tired of
too much weight
upon this 'ol back of mine
I'm looking for that 'ol sun
I'm just waiting
for it to shine

I'm looking for
some affection
beautiful women
all around me
but they aint
looking in
my direction

I'm so tired of working
but I'm just too old
to stand still
I don't want you to
murder my clock
but you can come around
when you've got
some time to kill!
