Waiting 'Round to Die (Live)

Sometimes I don't know where
This dirty road is takin' 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
Oh, one time, friends I had a Ma
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
Came of age and I found a girl
In a Tuscaloosa bar
Oh, she cleaned me out
And hit it on the sly
Well I tried to kill the pain
I bought some wine
And hopped a train
Seemed easier than just waitin' around to die
Then 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
And drug me back to Muskogee
And it's two long years
Of waitin' around to die
Oh, but now I'm out of prison
I got me a friend at last
He don't drink or steal
Or cheat or lie
Oh, his name is Codeine
He's the nicest thing I've seen
Well, together we're gonna wait around
And die
Yeah, together we're gonna wait around
And die
