Waitin' Around To Die - Live From Jills Veranda / 2015

Sometimes I don't know where this dirty road is taking me
Sometimes I don't even know the reason why
I guess I keep on ramblin', lots of booze and lots of gamblin'
It's seems easier than just waitin' 'around to die

One-time friends I had a ma, I even had a pa
He hit her with a belt once when she cried
She said take care of me, packed the bags for Tennessee
It's better than just waitin' 'around to die

I came of age and I found a girl in a Tuscaloosa bar
She cleaned me out and hit it on the sly
I tried to kill the pain, I bought some wine and hopped a train
Seemed easier than just a-waitin' 'round to die

A friend said he knew where some easy money was
We robbed a man and brother did we fly
The posse caught up with me, drug me back to Muskogee
It's two long years, just a-waitin' 'round to die

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
Together we're gonna wait around and die
And together we're gonna wait around to die.
