Tuckered Out (live)

I've seen more than a little Texas and a playboy always knows
A man does what he wills as long as he stays on his toes
He can rustle up a fortune, any man can strike it rich
But I'm doin' good to keep it straight
And keep my wheels out of the ditch
Ain't no posture for the desert rose, the bad luck looks are gone
That crystal ball won't even look me one day in the sun

I'm Haggard moanin', wailin' from the bottom of my restless heart
Don't know why the black cloud's tailin'
Me, seem to be no pardon from the dark
And I've had it to the gills of knowin'
What the nitty-gritty's all about
Bein' McIntyre and Loveless, I can't love it if I'm all tuckered out

Well, I never meant to set out like a half-cocked Gatling gun
No highway headhunter's gonna let this rabbit run
I ain't brave enough to ride, I probably got no fate to seal
If I can't roll through Alabama half a-sleepin' at the wheel
My paychecks are like dried up wells and way too small to cash
Right behind a roadside motel lay some money down to crash

I'm Haggard moanin', wailin' from the bottom of my restless heart
Don't know why the black cloud's tailin'
Me, seem to be no pardon from the dark
And I've had it to the gills of knowin'
What the nitty-gritty's all about
Bein' McIntyre and Loveless, I can't love it if I'm all tuckered out
