Lyrics
Sometimes I don't know where this dirty road is taking me
Sometimes I don't even know the reason why
But I guess I'll keep a-gamblin'
Lots of boozin' and lots of ramblin'
It's easier than just a-waitin' around to die
A long time ago I had a ma, even had a pa
He beat her with a belt once, 'cause she cried
Told him to take care of me
Headed down to Tennessee
It's easier than just a-waitin' around to die
I came of age and I found this girl in a Tuscaloosa bar
She cleaned me out and hit it on the sly
I tried to hide the pain
I bought some wine and hopped a train
It's easier than just a-waitin' around to die
A friend of mine said he knew where some easy money was
We robbed a man and brother did we fly
The sheriff caught me
And brought me back to Muskogee
Two long years a-waitin' around to die
Well now I'm out of jail, and I got me a friend at last
He don't drink or steal or cheat or lie
His name's Paul Dean, he's the nicest thing I seen
Together we're gonna wait around and die
Together we're gonna wait around and die
