waitin’ around to die (1968 version) - townes van zandt lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
sometimes i don’t know where this dirty road’s taking me
sometimes i don’t even know the reason why
but i guess i keep a-gamblin’, lots of booze and lots of ramblin’
well it’s easier than just a-waitin’ ’round to die

[verse 2]
one-time friends i had a ma, i even had a pa
well 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 a-waitin’ ’round to die

[verse 3]
well i came of age and found a girl in a tuscaloosa bar
ah she cleaned me out and hit it on the sly
i tried to hide the pain, i bought some wine and hopped a train
well it’s easier than just a-waitin’ ’round to die

[verse 4]
well 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, drug me back to muskogee
two long years a-waitin’ ’round to die

[verse 5]
well now i’m out of prison, i got me a friend at last
well he don’t drink or steal or cheat or lie
well his name’s codeine, he’s the nicest thing i’ve seen
yeah together we’re gonna wait around and die
yeah together we’re gonna wait around and die
