waiting 'round to die (live) - townes van zandt 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 on gamblin’, lots of booze and lots of ramblin’
it’s easier than just a-waitin’ ’round 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, she headed down to tennessee
it’s easier than just a-waitin’ ’round to die
i came of age and 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 a-waitin’ ’round to die
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
it’s two long years, just a-waitin’ ’round to die
now i’m out of prison, i got me a friend at last
he don’t steal or cheat or drink or lie
his name’s codeine, he’s the nicest thing i’ve seen
together we’re gonna wait around and die
