CAPO 2
AmSometimes I don't know where... this dirtDmy road is taking me
AmSometimes I don't even know the reason Emwhy
AmBut I guess I'll keep on ramblin'..., Lots of bDmooze and lots of gamblin'
It's Ameasier than just Emwaitin around to Amdie.
AmOnce I had a Ma..., I Dmeven had a Pa
HAme beat her with a belt once 'cause sheEm cried
AmShe told him to take care of me..., Headed Dmdown to Tennessee
It waAms easier 'n just Emwaitin around to Amdie.
AmI came of age and I met a girl.., in Dma Tuscaloosa bar
AmShe cleaned me out and hid it on theEm sly
AmI tried to kill the pain.., I bought someDm wine and hopped a train
SeemeAmd easier than jusEmt waiting around Amto die
AmMy friend said he knew where some Dmeasy money was
AmWe robbed a man and brother did weEm fly
AmThe police caught up with me..., drug me Dmback to muskogee
Now iAmt's two long years of Emwaitng around to Amdie.
AmNow I'm out of prison..., I got me a fDmriend at last
AmHe don't drink, or steal, or cheat, orEm lie
AmHis name's codiene..., he's the Dmfinest thing I've seen
and tAmogether we're gonEmna wait around toAm die.
