No Rest For The Weary

No Rest For The Weary

(I. Hanson, T. Hanson, Z. Hanson)

 

 

Verse 1

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

 

Chorus

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 fine

But the future’s all I’ve got time for

 

Verse 2

I’m a wide-eyed fool

For the first temptation

I’ll give up guarantees

For 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

 

Chorus

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 fine

But the future’s all I’ve got time for

 

Verse 3

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

 

Verse 4

‘Cause I know I’m living

When I still feel strain

On the back of my neck

On the front of my brain

 

And I can’t resist

When I hear it proclaimed

That It can’t be done

Boy that’ll never be changed

 

(Cont. over outro / fade)

 

You know that

 

Chorus

There’s no rest, for the weary

There’s no rest, for the weary

B V
