No Rest For The Weary
I don’t need to make sense
I don’t try to rhyme
‘Cause I’ve paid my dues
Yeah, I’ve done my time
I might eat my hat
I might lose my case
But I won’t hide my words
Behind a poker face
You know that
There’s no rest, for the weary
Brother don’t waste my time
‘Cause I’ve already made up my mind
There’s no rest, for the weary
Yesterday was just fine
But the future’s all I’ve got time for
Got time for
I’m a wide-eyed fool
For the first temptation
I’ll give up guarantees
Find a good vibration
I’m a rich blasphemer
And a poor man’s saint
‘Cause my feet can’t move
To where my heart just ain’t
You know that
There’s no rest, for the weary
Brother don’t waste my time
‘Cause I’ve already made up my mind, oh yeah!
There’s no rest, for the weary
Yesterday was just fine
But the future’s all I’ve got time for, yeah!
I don’t hold my liquor
I don’t share my business
Don’t like to ask permission
I’d rather give forgiveness
‘Cause I take my cue
From a condemned man
So I break their rules
Whenever I can
Ah… singing… ah…
Yesterday was just fine
But the future’s all I’ve got time for
Yesterday was just fine
But the future’s all I’ve got time for
I know I’m living
When I feel the strain
On the back of my neck
On the front of my brain
And I can’t resist
When I hear proclaimed
That it can’t be done
Boy that’ll never be changed
You know that
There’s no rest, for the weary
Brother don’t waste my time
‘Cause future’s all I’ve got time for
There’s no rest, for the weary
Yesterday was just fine
But I’ve already made up my mind
Yesterday was just fine
But the future’s all I’ve got time for
…
No rest, for the weary
Brother don’t waste my time
I’ve already made up my mind
There’s no rest, for the weary
Yesterday was just fine
But the future’s all I’ve got time for
No rest, for the weary
Brother don’t waste my time
I’ve already made up my mind
There’s no rest, for the weary
Yesterday was just fine
But the future’s all I’ve got time for
