I'm tired joey boy while you're out with the sheep

My life is so troubled i can't go to sleep

And i would walk myself out but the streets are so dark

I will wait 'til the morning and walk in the park



Yeah life is so simple when one isn't home

And i'm never complaining when there's work to be done

Oh i'm tired joey boy with the makings of men

I would like to be cheerful again



And ambition will take you and ride you too far

And conservatism will bring you to boredom once more

So go out by the river watch the stream flow

Recall all those dreams you once used to know

The ones you've forgotten that took you away

To pastures not greener but meaner



Yeah the love of the simple is all that i need

I have no time for schism or lovers of greed

Go up to the mountain go up to the glen

Where silence will touch you and heartbreak will mend
