Sometimes I don't even know where this dirty road is taking me
Sometimes I don't even know the reasons why
I guess I'll keep a-ramblin'
Lots of booze and lots of gamblin'
It's easier than just waiting around to dieI had a ma
I even had a pa
He hit her with a belt once
'Cause she cried
Told him take care of me
Headed back to Tennessee
Was easier than just waitin' around to dieI came of age and I met a girl
In a Tuscaloosa bar
She cleaned me out and hid it on the sly
And I tried to kill the pain
I bought some wine and hopped a train
Was easier than just waiting around to dieFriend said he knew where some easy money was
Robbed a man and brother, did we fly
They caught up with me
They drug me back to Tenneessee
Four long years waiting around to die
