Waitin' Round To Die-The Avener/The Be Good Tanyas

Sometimes I don't know where This stony road is taking me Sometimes I don't know the reason why So I guess I'll keep gambling Lots of booze and lots of rambling Well, it's easier than just waiting around to die Well, 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 And headed down to Tennessee Well, it's easier than just waiting around to die Then I became of age And I found a girl in a Tuscaloosa bar She cleaned me out and she hit it on the sly Well, I tried to kill the pain I bought some wine, I hopped a train Well, it was easier than just waiting 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 drugged me back to Muskogee And now it's two long years, just waiting around to die Now I'm out of prison And I got me a friend at last He don't steal or cheat or drink or lie His name is Codeine And he's the nicest thing I've seen And together, we're gonna wait around to die
