Waitin' 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 a-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
Well 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 it on the sly
I tried to kill the pain, I bought some wine and hopped a train
Seemed easier than just waitin' around to die
Then 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, and drug me back to Muskogee
And 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 names Codeine, he's the nicest thing I've seen
Together we're gonna wait around and die
Together we're gonna wait around and die
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 a-waitin' around to die
He beat her with a belt once cause she cried
She told him to take care of me, headed down to Tennessee
Well it's easier than just waitin' around to die
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 waitin' around to die
We robbed a man, and brother did we fly
But the posse caught up with me, and drug me back to Muskogee
And it's two long years I've been waitin around to die
He don't drink or steal or cheat or lie
His names Codeine, he's the nicest thing I've seen
Together we're gonna wait around and die
Together we're gonna wait around and die
