[G] [D]
[Am] [E] [Am]
Sometimes I don't know where this [Dm] dirty road has taken me
[Am] Sometimes I can't even see the reason [E] why
I [Am] guess I'll keep gambling, [Dm] lots of booze and lots of rambling
[Am] Well it's easier than [E] just waiting around [Am] to die
One time friends had a mob, [Dm] they even had a paw
[Am] Well he beat her with a belt once cause she [E] cried
She [Am] told him to take care of me and headed [Dm] down to Tennessee
[Am] It seemed easier than [E] just waiting around [Am] to die
Well I came of age and I found a girl [Dm] in a Tuscaloosa bar
[Am] Well she cleaned me out and hit it on the [E] slide
I [Am] tried to kill the pain, I bought [Dm] some wine and hopped a train
It [Am]
seemed easier than just [E] waiting around [Am] to die
A friend said he knew where [Dm] some easy money was
[Am] He robbed a man and brother did me [E] fly
The [Am] puss caught up with me and drug [Dm] me back to Muscogee
[Am] It was two long [E] years of waiting around to [Am] die
Now I'm out of prison, [Dm] got me a friend at last
[Am] He don't drink, steal, cheat or [E] lie
[Am] His name is Cody and he's [Dm] the nicest thing I've seen
Yeah [Am] together we're gonna [E] wait around to [Am] die
Yeah together we're gonna [E] wait around to [Am] die
