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 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, i even had a pa
He beat her with a belt once 'cause she cried
She told him to take care of me, she headed down to tennessee
It's easier than just a-waitin' 'round to die

I came of age and found a girl 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
Seemed easier than just a-waitin' 'round 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, drug me back to muskogee
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 steal or cheat or drink or lie
His name's codeine, he's the nicest thing i've seen
Together we're gonna wait around and die
