   Sanat:

   ”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 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, just a-waitin’ ’round to die

   Now I’m out of prison, I got me a friend at last
   He don’t 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”
