[00:07.32]Sometimes i don't know where
[00:10.47]This dirty road is taking me
[00:13.71]Sometimes i can't even see the reason why
[00:20.37]I guess i keep a-gamblin'
[00:23.16]Lots of booze and lots of ramblin'
[00:25.62]It's easier than just waitin' around to die
[00:33.63]One time, friends, i had a ma
[00:36.75]I even had a pa
[00:40.38]He beat her with a belt once 'cause she cried
[00:45.51]She told him to take care of me
[00:48.93]Headed down to tennessee
[00:52.68]It's easier than just waitin' around to die
[00:59.37]I came of age and i found a girl
[01:01.86]In a tuscaloosa bar
[01:05.61]She cleaned me out and hit in on the sly
[01:11.82]I tried to kill the pain, bought some wine
[01:15.75]And hopped a train
[01:17.94]Seemed easier than just waitin' around to die
[01:25.29]A friend said he knew
[01:27.57]Where some easy money was
[01:31.50]We robbed a man, and brother did we fly
[01:37.47]The posse caught up with me
[01:40.32]And drug me back to muskogee
[01:44.13]It's two long years i've been waitin' around to die
[02:16.50]Now i'm out of prison
[02:19.56]I got me a friend at last
[02:22.89]He don't drink or steal or cheat or lie
[02:29.25]His name's codine
[02:30.84]He's the nicest thing i've seen
[02:36.27]Together we're gonna wait around and die
[02:38.70]Together we're gonna wait around and die

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 a-gamblin'
Lots of booze and lots of ramblin'
It's 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
It's 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
It's two long years i've been waitin' around 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
His name's codine
He's the nicest thing i've seen
Together we're gonna wait around and die
Together we're gonna wait around and die
