Waiting Around To Die

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 on ramblin', lots of booze and lots of gamblin'
 It's easier than just waitin' around to die
 I had a ma, I even had a pa
 He hit her with a belt once cause she cried
 Told him to take care of me, headed back to Tennessee
 It was easier than just waitin' around to die
 I came of age and I met 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 to train
 Was 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
 They caught up with me, they drug me back to Muskogee
 Four long years waitin' around to die
 
 Now I'm out of prison, got me a friend at last
 He don't drink or steal or cheat or lie
 His name is morphine, he's the nicest thing I've seen
 Together we're gonna wait around and die
