There’s no rest for the weary
The heavy load I carry
Pushes down on me
Down down down to the ground

The sun comes up the sun goes round
I’m counting down my time
If I can’t make something good
Then life ain’t worth a dime

There’s trouble coming every day
Walkin’ right beside me
Go find someone else I say
I’m poor but I’m still free

There’s no rest for the weary
The heavy load I carry
Pushes down on me
Down down down to the ground

I ain’t one to mope and cry
Ain’t nobody’s fault but mine
My back is strong so load me up
I’ll get along just fine

If you want to lend a hand
My friend I won’t refuse
If you want to pass me by
I’m accustomed to bad news

Well there’s no rest for the weary
The heavy load I carry
Pushes down on me
Down down down to the ground
