I'm Tired Joey Boy

I'm tired Joey Boy while you're out with the sheep My life is so troubled I can't go to sleep And I would walk myself out but the streets are so dark I will wait 'til the morning and walk in the park Yeah life is so simple when one isn't home And I'm never complaining when there's work to be done Oh I'm tired Joey Boy with the makings of men I would like to be cheerful again And ambition will take you and ride you too far And conservatism will bring you to boredom once more So go out by the river watch the stream flow Recall all those dreams you once used to know The ones you've forgotten that took you away To pastures not greener but meaner Yeah the love of the simple is all that I need I have no time for schism or lovers of greed Go up to the mountain go up to the glen Where silence will touch you and heartbreak will mend
