Price hit Nashville in the early 1950s, rooming for a short time with Hank Williams. When Williams died, Price took over Williams' band, the Drifting Cowboys, and had minor success. He was the first artist to have a hit with "Release Me" (1953), a song made famous by Engelbert Humperdinck in 1967. However, Price became one of the stalwarts of the grinding, honky tonk music that became even more popular in the early 1950s with such singers as Hank Williams, Lefty Frizzell, Webb Pierce and others. Price developed the famous "Ray Price Shuffle Beat" that is heard on "Crazy Arms," which served as the beat for many honky-tonk classics since then.

I'm Tired Lyrics

Ray Price

(Mel Tillis - Webb Pierce - Buck Peddy)
Well, I'm standin' on the corner of a busy street
A lookin' for your face in ever crowd I meet
Searchin' every honky tonk in this town
Tryin' to find the places where you hang around.
Oh Lord, I'm tired, tired of living this a-way.
--- Instrumental ---
Well, I've been waitin', on you baby, night and day
A wonderin' if your love will ever come my way
But time's runnin' out and I'm a-slowin' down
I'm tired of bein' just another hang around
Oh Lord, I'm tired, tired of living this a way.
--- Instrumental ---
There ain't no happiness in anything I do
I found myself so lonely when I'm not with you
What makes you just a kinda girl a guy will love
You've got so many others that you're thinking of
Oh Lord, I'm tired, tired of living this a way.
Oh Lord, I'm tired, tired of living this a way...
