townes van zandt - waiting 'round to die (live 1973) lyrics
[verse 1]
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 a-waitin’ ’round to die
[verse 2]
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 was better than just a-waitin’ ’round to die
[verse 3]
i came of age and i found a girl in a tuscaloosa bar
she cleaned me out and hit it on the sly
i tried to k!ll the pain, i bought some wine and hopped a train
[verse 4]
and 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, a-waitin’ ’round to die
[verse 5]
now i’m out of prison, i got me a friend at last
he don’t drink or steal or cheat or lie
well his name’s codeine, he’s the nicest thing i’ve seen
together we’re gonna wait around and die
ah together we’re gonna wait around and die
