Waiting Around to Die

Lyrics
Sometimes I don't know where this dirty road is taking me Sometimes I can't even see the reason why I guess I'll keep on gambling, lots of booze, and lots of rambling Easier than a-waiting around to die 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 and headed down to Tennessee Easier than a-waiting around to die I came of age and met a girl in a Tuscaloosa bar She clеaned me out and hit it on the sly I triеd to kill the pain, I bought some wine, I hopped a train Seemed easier than waiting around to die I had a friend who said he knew where some easy money was We robbed a man and, brother, did we fly His posse caught up with me and drug me back to Muskogee Now it's two long years just waiting around- Two long years just waiting around- Two long years just waiting around- Two long years of waiting around to die Now I'm out of prison, I got me a friend at last He don't drink or cheat or steal or lie His name is Codeine, and he's the nicest thing I've seen Together we're gonna wait around- Together we're gonna wait around and die
