Waitin' 'Round 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'll 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 it's 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 in 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
 Yeah, 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 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 Codine
 He's 'bout the nicest thing I've 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
