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