Sometimes I don't know where |
|
This dirty road is 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' around to die |
|
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 |
|
Well it's easier than just a-waitin' around to die |
|
Well I came of age and I found a girl in a Tuscaloosa bar |
|
She cleaned me out and hit in on the sly |
|
I tried to hide the pain, I bought some wine and hopped a train |
|
Well it's 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 |
|
The posse caught up with me |
|
And drug me back to Muskogee |
|
Two long years waitin' around to die |
|
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 |
|
His name's codeine |
|
He's the nicest thing I've seen |
|
Yah, together we're gonna wait around and die |
|
Yah together we're gonna wait around and die |
