Waitin' Around to Die
Sometimes I don't know where this dirty road is taking me
Sometimes I can't even see the reason why
I guess I keep a-gamblin', lots of booze and lots of ramblin'
Oh, it's easier to just a-waitin' around to die
One time friends I had a ma, I even had a pa
But he beat her with a belt once 'cause she cried
She told him to take care of me, she headed down to Tennessee
Oh, two long years of waitin' around to die
I came of age and I found a girl in a Tuscaloosa bar
She cleaned me out but indeed she fly
I tried to kill the pain, I bought some wine and hopped a train
Oh, it's easier just a-waitin' around to die
And friend said he knew where some easy money was
We robbed a man and brother did we fly
The posse caught up with me, drugged me back to Muskogee
And it's two long years of waitin' around to die
Oh, that now I'm out of prison I got me a friend at last
He don't drink or steal or cheat or lie
His name's Codeine, he's the nicest thing I've seen
And together we're gonna wait around to die
Sometimes I don't know where this dirty road is takin' me
Sometimes I can't even see the reason why
I guess I keep a-gamblin', lots of booze and lots of ramblin'
Man, it's easier to just a-waitin' around to die
Oh, it's easier to just a-waitin' around to die
Sometimes I can't even see the reason why
I guess I keep a-gamblin', lots of booze and lots of ramblin'
Oh, it's easier to just a-waitin' around to die
One time friends I had a ma, I even had a pa
But he beat her with a belt once 'cause she cried
She told him to take care of me, she headed down to Tennessee
Oh, two long years of waitin' around to die
I came of age and I found a girl in a Tuscaloosa bar
She cleaned me out but indeed she fly
I tried to kill the pain, I bought some wine and hopped a train
Oh, it's easier just a-waitin' around to die
And friend said he knew where some easy money was
We robbed a man and brother did we fly
The posse caught up with me, drugged me back to Muskogee
And it's two long years of waitin' around to die
Oh, that now I'm out of prison I got me a friend at last
He don't drink or steal or cheat or lie
His name's Codeine, he's the nicest thing I've seen
And together we're gonna wait around to die
Sometimes I don't know where this dirty road is takin' me
Sometimes I can't even see the reason why
I guess I keep a-gamblin', lots of booze and lots of ramblin'
Man, it's easier to just a-waitin' around to die
Oh, it's easier to just a-waitin' around to die
