| Song | Waitin' Around to Die |
| Artist | Townes Van Zandt |
| Album | For the Sake of the Song: First Album |
| 作词 : VanZandt | |
| Sometimes I dont know where | |
| This dirty road is taking me | |
| Sometimes I cant even see the reason why | |
| I guess I keep a-gamblin | |
| Lots of booze and lots of ramblin | |
| Its easier than just waitin around 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 | |
| Headed down to tennessee | |
| Its easier than just waitin around to die | |
| 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 kill the pain, bought some wine | |
| And hopped a train | |
| Seemed 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 | |
| Its two long years Ive been waitin around to die | |
| Now Im out of prison | |
| I got me a friend at last | |
| He dont drink or steal or cheat or lie | |
| His names codine | |
| Hes the nicest thing Ive seen | |
| Together were gonna wait around and die | |
| Together were gonna wait around and die |
