Waitin' 'Round to Die

Sometimes I don't know where this dirty road is taking me

Sometimes I cant even see the reason why

I guess I 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 its 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 it 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

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 I've been 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 Codeine, he's 'bout the nicest thing I ever 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
