Waiting Around To Die Lyrics

    By townes van zandt

    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
