Tired

When the sun goes down
Over little town
She takes her time with God
She start to pray
For a better day
Sometimes she cries a lot

She is hard and tough
Strong enough
To endure this bitter life
She got child to feed
She gives what he need
She ain't nobody's wife

Ten long years to raise her children
Tired mother in the sun
Fly away to your heaven
When your work is done
