Sometimes I don't know where this dirty road is taking me
Sometimes I can't even see 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 I 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, just a-waitin '' round to die
Now I'm out of prison, I got me a friend at last
He Do not steal or cheat or drink or lie His name's codeine
, he's the nicest thing I've seen Together we're gonna wait
around and die

Waitin 'round to die. Townes Van Zandt
[Original 1968. The video is a documentary from 1975 or 1976 that is called Heartworn highways. " The long-haired girl is his girlfriend and the older man, a neighbor. Perhaps history that this account is the master. Some suppose. There are no guarantees. The letter is the original song and therefore not match exactly, although that does not make you miss a beauty ñañigo].
