[Verse 1]
Sometimes I don't know where
This dirty road is taking me
Sometimes I don't know the reason why
So I guess I'll keep gambling
Lots of booze and lots of rambling
Well, it's easier than just waiting around to die
[Verse 2]
Well, 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
Well, it's easier than just waiting around to die
[Verse 3]
Then I came of age
And I found a girl in a Tuscaloosa bar
She cleaned me out and she hit it on the sly
Well, I tried to kill the pain
I bought some wine, I hopped a train
Well, it was easier than just waiting around to die
[Verse 4]
Then 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 they drug me back to Muskogee
And now it's two long years of waiting around to die
