lyrics

WAITING AROUND TO DIE 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’LL KEEP ON GAMBLING, LOTS OF BOOZE AND LOTS OF RAMBLING
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, SHE HEADED DOWN TO TENNESSEE
WELL IT’S EASIER THAN JUST WAITING AROUND TO DIE

I CAME OF AGE AND I FOUND A GIRL IN A TUSCALOOSA BAR
SHE CLEANED ME OUT AND HID IT ON THE SLY
TRIED TO KILL THE PAIN I BOUGHT SOME WINE AND HOPPED A TRAIN
SEEMED 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
POSSEE CAUGHT UP WITH ME AND DRAGGED ME BACK TO MUSKOGEE
TWO LONG YEARS I’VE BEEN WAITING 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 IS CODEINE, HE’S THE NICEST THING I’VE EVER SEEN
TOGETHER WE’RE GOING TO WAIT AROUND TO DIE
TOGETHER WE’RE GOING TO WAIT AROUND TO DIE
TOGETHER WE’RE GOING TO WAIT AROUND TO DIE
