LYRICS
Sometimes I don't know where this dirty road is taking me
Sometimes I don't even know 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
A-waitin' round to die
