Waitin' 'Round 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'll keep a-gamblin' Lots of booze and lots of ramblin' It's easier than just waitin' 'round to die One time, friends, I had a ma Hell, I even had a pa He beat her with a belt once 'cause she cried She told him to take care of me Headed back to Tennessee It's easier than just waitin' 'round to die Yeah, I guess it's easier than just waitin' 'round to die I came of age, and I found a girl down in a Tuscaloosa bar She cleaned me out and hit in on the sly I tried to kill the pain I bought some wine and hopped a train It's easier than just waitin' 'round to die Yeah, it seemed easier than just waitin' 'round to die Well, 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, drug my ass back to Muskogee Now, it's two long years waitin' 'round to die Now, it's two long years just 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 Codine He's 'bout the nicest thing I've seen Together we're gonna wait around to die Together we're gonna wait around to die Together we're gonna wait around to die Together we're gonna wait around to die Sometimes I don't know where this dirty road is taking me It's easier than just waitin' 'round to die
