The Be Good Tanyas - Waiting Around to Die lyrics

sometimes i don't know where this dirty road is taking me sometimes i don't know the reason why so i guess i'll keep gamblin' lots of booze and lots of ramblin' it's easier than just waitin' 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 it's easier than just a-waitin' around to die i came of age and found a girl in tuscaloosa bar she cleaned me out and she hit on the sly well i tried to k** the pain i bought some wine i hopped a train seemed easier than just waitin' 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 drug me back to muskogee now it's two long years, waitin' around to die 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 is codeine and he's the nicest thing i've seen and together we're gonna wait around to die
