This is a cover (Bobby Bifano) of Tired written by Toby Keith as found in the opening of the Movie Broken Bridges. Saw the movie and had to learn it, wish I had a Gibson and some equipment to do it through. I would like to dedicate my cover of this song to all the Mothers out there that are Tired from all they do. God made woman from only one of man's ribs because the rest wouldn't do.
