I’m So Tired

I’m tired
Honey I’m tired
Soooooo tired of hanging on
Baby when’s gonna be my time
I done suffered for as long as I can remember
But I been out here walking the line

I’m so tired of always wanting more
Like I can’t never be satisfied
But most of all I’m tired of runnin
Im tired of fighting
I’m tired of cryin bout somethin I can’t see

Baby im just plain old tired

Some old timer once told me
Comparison is the thief of joy
It’ll rob ya
It’ll beat ya down
It’ll beat ya down
Said it’ll beat ya down
It’ll steal all your glory

Don’t let this hard livin get ya tired
Don’t let this hard livin get ya tired baby
Don’t let it steal your light
Keep it shining bright
Ohhhhh
Don’t let this hard livin get ya tired

This music industry is so baffling! You have clowns EVERYWHERE, all over the Grammy stage, who can't & won't ever possess 1/100th of this man's talent! He not only sings incredible, he wrote this song out of nowhere and it sounds like its a forever classic! Keep grinding and producing beautiful music. It's inevitable to reach the masses one day

[marcridge]

Maaaan y’all are awesome! I knew this song had a vibe when I was writing it but, I didn’t expect all this! Thank you 🙏

[marcridge]

Idk who all might see this, it’s been a month since I wrote and recorded this song. Never in a million years would I have expected so many people to connect with this tune. I just wanted to say thank you to all you fine people on YouTube. Not only for listening and supporting, but for taking the time to comment and tell me your stories. It means more than you can ever know.

I’m just a regular dude, I have busted my ass my entire life. I was born to a teenage mom into a life of poverty and struggle. Lived on my own since I was 16, joined the Army at 18 spent a year in Afghanistan from November 2009-November 2010 with the 173rd Airborne Brigade. Got out in 2012. Went from serving the country to doing all sorts of different jobs. Including shoveling horse shit twice a week for $20 a day.

After that I got my Class A CDL and started driving trucks while playing gigs on the weekends. Until my song “Ain’t A Rich Man” went viral on Facebook in June of 2023. Since then I have been traveling the country playing in bars and small clubs all over the place trying to keep the bills paid. Truly “LIVING IT”

I can’t tell you how grateful I am to each and every one of you for being a part of this epic journey that is my life. Please consider coming to a live show, but until then stay tuned for more music.

I’m tired
Honey I’m tired
tired of hanging on
Baby when’s gonna be my time
I done suffered long enough, long enough
But I been out here walking the line

I’m so tired of always wanting more
Like I can’t never be satisfied
But most of all I’m tired of runnin
Im tired of fighting
I’m tired of cryin bout somethin I can’t see

Baby im just plain old tired

Some old timer once told me
Comparison is the thief of joy
It’ll rob ya
It’ll beat ya down
It’ll beat ya down
Said it’ll beat ya down
It’ll steal all your glory

Don’t let this hard livin get ya tired
Don’t let this hard livin get ya tired baby
Don’t let it steal your light
Keep it shining bright
make it one more night
Don’t let this hard livin get ya tired

That was so beautiful Marc 😊 Please don't worry about your musical career hon. Everything happens in the good Lord's own time 🙏. He has already arranged the day you make it big. Just takes a little Faith 🙌 & a lot of patience. God bless you ❤
