[ti:] [ar:] [al:] [00:37.46]Sometimes I don't know where [00:39.38]This stony road is taking me [00:45.60]Sometimes I don't know the reason why [00:49.35]So I guess I'll keep gambling [00:51.98]Lots of booze and lots of rambling [00:57.16]Well, it's easier than just waiting around to die [01:12.09]Well, one time, friends [01:13.26]I had a ma, I even had a pa [01:19.20]He beat her with a belt once 'cause she cried [01:23.99]She told him to take care of me [01:27.18]And headed down to Tennessee [01:31.68]Well, it's easier than just waiting around to die [01:49.08]Then I became of age [01:50.81]And I found a girl in a Tuscaloosa bar [01:56.60]She cleaned me out and she hit it on the sly [02:01.25]Well, I tried to kill the pain [02:03.69]I bought some wine, I hopped a train [02:08.84]Well, it was easier than just waiting around to die [02:26.30]Then a friend said he knew [02:28.55]Where some easy money was [02:33.83]We robbed a man and brother, did we fly [02:38.52]But the posse caught up with me [02:41.38]And drugged me back to Muskogee [02:46.23]And now it's two long years, just waiting around to die [03:23.35]Now I'm out of prison [03:25.80]And I got me a friend at last [03:31.14]He don't steal or cheat or drink or lie [03:35.69]His name is Codeine [03:38.18]And he's the nicest thing I've seen [03:43.24]And together, we're gonna wait around to die
