Waiting 'round to Die

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 gamblin', lots of booze and lots of ramblin' It's easier than just a-waitin' 'round 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, headed down to Tennessee It's easier than just a-waitin' 'round to die I came of age and found a girl in a Tuscaloosa bar Oh, 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 Yeah, together we're gonna wait around and die.
