The Lemonheads - Waiting Around to Die lyrics

Sometimes I don't know where this dirty road is takin' me Sometimes I can't even see the reason why I guess I keep on gamblin', lots of booze and lots of ramblin' Well, it's easier than just waitin' 'round 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 and headed down to Tennessee It's easier than just waitin' 'round to die 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 k** the pain, I bought some wine and hopped a train Seemed easier than just a-waitin' 'round to die 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 and drug me back to Muskogee It's two long years of waitin' 'round 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 seen Yeah, together we're gonna wait around and die Yeah, together we're gonna wait around and die
