Waitin Around To Die

Dm Gm Sometimes I don't know where this dirty road is takin' me Dm Am Sometimes I cant even see the reason why Dm Gm I guess I'll keep on gamblin', Lots of booze and lots of ramblin' Dm Am Dm Its easier than just waitin' round to die Dm Gm One time friends I had a Ma' I even had a Pa' Dm Am He beat her with a belt once cause she cried Dm Gm She told him to take care of me, headed down to Tennessee Dm Am Dm Its easier than just waitin' around to die Dm Gm I came of age and found a girl down in the Tuscalusa bar Dm Am She cleaned me out and hit it on the sly Dm Gm I tried to k**l the pain, I bought some wine and hopped a train Dm Am Dm seemed easier than just waitin' round to die Dm Gm a friend said he knew where some easy money was Dm Am We robbed a man and brother did we fly Dm Gm Police caught up with me they drug me back to Muskogee Dm Am Dm its 2 long years been waitin' round to die Dm Gm a friend said he knew where some good money could be made Dm Am We found a rich boy walking all alone Dm Gm I got me a razor blade and I cut him into shape Dm Am Dm and I started me a graveyard of my own Dm Gm Now Im out of prison I got me a friend at last Dm Am He don't steal or cheat or drink or lie Dm Gm His name is Codeine He's the nicest thing I've ever seen Dm Am Dm Together we're gonna wait around to die Dm Am Dm Together we're gonna wait around to die Dm Am Dm Together we're gonna wait around to die Dm Am Dm Together we're gonna wait around...and die (play Am here for two bars)
