Townes Van Zandt - Waiting Around to Die текст песни

By townes van zandt

Sometimes I dont know where

This dirty road is taking me

Sometimes I cant even see the reason why

I guess I keep a-gamblin

Lots of booze and lots of ramblin

Its easier than just waitin around to die

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

Its 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

Its two long years Ive been waitin around to die

Now Im out of prison

I got me a friend at last

He dont drink or steal or cheat or lie

His names codine

Hes the nicest thing Ive seen

Together were gonna wait around and die

Together were gonna wait around and die
