^GmSometimes I don't know where this dirty ^Csus2/Groad is taking me ^Gm Sometimes I don't ^Dknow the reason why So I ^Gmguess I keep a-gamblin' lots of ^Csus2/Gbooze and lots of ramblin' But it's ^Gmeasier than just ^Da-waitin' around ^Gm to die

Csus2/G A#sus2/F Gm Gm VERSE:

^GmOh one time, friends, I had a ma ^Csus2/G I even had a pa He ^Gmbeat her with a belt once 'cause ^Dshe cried She told ^Gmhim to take care of me she ^Csus2/Gheaded down to Tennessee But it's ^Gmeasier than just ^Da-waitin' around ^Gm to die

Csus2/G A#sus2/F Gm Gm Gm VERSE:

^GmThen I came of age and I found a girl in a ^Csus2/GTuscaloosa bar She ^Gmcleaned me out and she hit in on ^Dthe sly Well I ^Gmtried to kill the pain, I ^Csus2/Gbought some wine and hopped a train Well it's ^Gmeasier than just ^Da-waitin' around ^Gm to die

Csus2/G A#sus2/F Gm Gm Gm VERSE:

^GmAnd a friend said he knew where ^Csus2/Gsome easy money was We ^Gmrobbed a man, and brother did we ^Dfly But the ^Gmposse caught up with me and they drug ^Csus2/Gme back to Muskogee And now it's ^Gmtwo long years ^Da-waitin' around ^Gm to die

Csus2/G A#sus2/F Gm Gm (3x) Gm VERSE:

^GmNow I'm out of prison and I ^Csus2/Ggot me a friend at last And ^Gmhe don't steal or cheat or drink ^Dor lie Well his ^Gmname is Codine he's the ^Csus2/Gnicest thing I've seen And to-^Gmgether we're gonna ^Dwait around ^Gm to die
