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'<BR /><DIV>
It's easier than just a-waitin' 'round to die</DIV>

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<BR /><DIV>
It's easier than just a-waitin' 'round to die</DIV>

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<BR /><DIV>
Seemed easier than just a-waitin' 'round to die</DIV>

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<BR /><DIV>
It's two long years, just a-waitin' 'round to die</DIV>

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<BR /><DIV>
Together we're gonna wait around and die</DIV>
