Townes van Zandt - Waitin around to die

^AmSometimes I don't know where this dirty ^Dmroad is taking me Some^Amtimes I don't even know the reason ^Emwhy But I ^Amguess I'll keep on gambling lots of ^Dmbooze and lots of rambling Seems ^Ameasier than ^Emwaiting around to ^Amdie

Sometimes friends I had a ma I ^Dmeven had a pa He ^Ambeat her with a belt once cos she ^Emcried ^AmTold her to take care of me ^Dmheaded down to Tennessee Seemed ^Ameasier than just ^Emwaiting around to ^Amdie

in a ^DmTuscaloosa bar She ^Amcleaned me out and hit it on the ^Emslide I ^Amtried to kill the pain bought some ^Dmwine and hopped the train Seemed ^Ameasier than just ^Emwaitin around to ^Amdie

some ^Dmeasy money was We ^Amrobbed the man and brother did we ^Emfly But the ^Ampolice caught up with me dragged me ^Dmback to Muskogee It's ^Amtoo long years ^Emwaitin around to ^Amdie

Well now I'm in a prison and ^Dmgot me a friend at last But ^Amhe don't drink or steal or cheat or ^Emlie His ^Amname's co dean he's the ^Dmnicest thing I've seen ^Amtogether we're goin to ^Emwait around and ^Amdie Oh together we're goin to ^Emwait around and ^Amdie
