Waitin' 'Round to Die - Whitey Morgan and the 78's

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 gamblin', lots of booze and lots of ramblin'

It’s easier than just a-waitin' 'round to die

One-time friends, I had a ma, hell I even had a pa

He beat her with a belt once 'cause she cried

She told him to take care of me, headed back to Tennessee

It’s easier than just a-waitin' 'round to die

Yeah, I guess it’s easier than just a-waitin' 'round to die

I came of age and I found a girl down in a Tuscaloosa bar

She cleaned me out and hit it on the sly

I tried to kill the pain, I bought some wine and hopped a train

It’s easier than just a-waitin' 'round to die

Yeah, it seemed easier than just a-waitin' 'round to die

Well 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 my ass back to Muskogee

Now It’s two long years a-waitin' 'round to die

Now it’s two long years just a-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

And his name is codeine, he’s 'bout the nicest thing I ever seen

Together we’re gonna wait 'round to die

Together we’re gonna wait 'round to die

Together we’re gonna wait 'round to die

Together we’re gonna wait 'round to die

Sometimes I don’t know where this dirty road is taking me

It’s easier than just a-waitin' 'round to die
