Waiting Around 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 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
