[Verse]
Rent's due again, but the paycheck's gone,
Living hand to mouth, just try hanging on,
I see the worry lines etched on your face,
In this shitty town, it's a losing race.
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m so tired of being hungry
So tired of being poor
I think it’s best, baby
If I walk out that door.
[Chorus]
It ain't your fault,
Nah, it's all mine,
I'm sorry I made you live
On southern standard time.
[Verse]
I work these calloused hands to the bone,
For a taste of the life we'll never know,
In the end, it's love that's all we have,
Put that with a nickel, and a nickel you’ll have
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m so tired of being hungry
So tired of being poor
I think it’s best, baby
If I walk out that door.
[Chorus]
It ain't your fault,
Nah, it's all mine,
I'm sorry I made you live
On southern standard time.
[Bridge]
We'll keep pushing through these tough times,
Don’t know what good it does, ain’t that a crime?
With each sunrise, we'll start anew,
So tired of being tired, but what’re we gonna do?
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m so tired of being hungry
So tired of being poor
I think it’s best, baby
If I walk out that door.
[Chorus]
It ain't your fault,
Nah, it's all mine,
I'm sorry I made you live
On southern standard time.
