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 |
|
TennesseeIt'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 kill 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 |
|
MuskogeeIt'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 seenYeah, together we're gonna wait around and die |
|
Yeah, together we're gonna wait around and die |
