Waiting Around To Die Lyrics - Townes Van Zandt - Townes Van Zandt

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

Sometimes I can't even see the reason why 

I guess I 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, I even had a pa 

He beat her with a belt once 'cause she cried 

She told him to take care of me, she headed down to Tennessee 

It's easier than just a-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 

The posse caught up with me, drug me back to Muskogee 

It's two long years, just a-waitin' 'round to die
