Whitey Morgan and the 78's - Waitin' 'Round to Die

Текст песни

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 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, 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 a-waitin' 'round to die
Yeah, I guess it’s easier than just a-waitin' 'round to die
I came of age and I found a girl down 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
It’s easier than just a-waitin' 'round to die
Yeah, it seemed easier than just a-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 a-waitin' 'round to die
Now 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 drink or steal or cheat or lie
And his name is codeine, he’s 'bout the nicest thing I ever seen
Together we’re gonna wait 'round to die
Together we’re gonna wait 'round to die
Together we’re gonna wait 'round to die
Together we’re gonna wait 'round to die
Sometimes I don’t know where this dirty road is taking me
It’s easier than just a-waitin' 'round to die
