Waitin' Around to Die Townes Van Zandt
Somet[C#m]imes I don't know where
this dirty r[F#m]oad is taking me
somet[C#m]imes I can't even see the reason [Ab7]why
I gu[C#m]ess I keep a-gamblin'
lots of b[F#m]ooze and lots of ramblin'
it's e[C#m]asier than just [Ab7]waitin' around to[C#m] die
One time, friends, I had a ma
I even had a pa
he beat her 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
