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 keep a-gamblin
Lots of booze and lots of ramblin
It s easier than just waitin 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
Headed down to Tennessee
It s easier than just waitin around to die

I came of age and I found a girl
In a Tuscaloosa bar
She cleaned me out and hit in on the sly
I tried to kill the pain, bought some wine
And hopped a train
Seemed easier than just waitin around 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
And drug me back to Muskogee
It s two long years I ve been waitin around 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 the nicest thing I ve seen
Together we re gonna wait around and die
Together we re gonna wait around and die
