Waitin’ Around to Die

Lyrics
Sometimes I don't know where this dirty road is taking me Sometimes I don't even know the reason why But I guess I keep a-gamblin', lots of booze and lots of ramblin' Well, it's easier than just a-waitin' 'round to die Ah one time friends I had a ma, I even had a pa Well he beat her with a belt once 'cause she cried She told him to take care of me, headed down to Tennessee Well it's easier than just a-waitin' 'round to die I came of age and I found a girl in a Tuscaloosa bar Ah she cleaned me out and hit it on the sly Well I tried to kill the pain, I bought some wine and hopped a train It seemed easier than just a-waitin' 'round 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 drug me back to Muskogee And it's two long years, a-waitin' 'round to die Ah but now I'm out of prison, I got me a friend at last He don't drink or steal or cheat or lie Ah his name is codeine, he's the nicest thing I've seen Well together we're gonna wait around and die Yeah together we're gonna wait around and die
