Amigo The Devil Waiting Around To Die
[Verse 1]
Sometimes I don't know where this dirty road is taking me
Sometimes I can't even see the reason why
I guess I'll keep on gambling, lots of booze, and lots of rambling
Easier than a-waiting around to die
[Verse 2]
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 and headed down to Tennessee
Easier than a-waiting around to die
[Verse 3]
I came of age and met a girl in a Tuscaloosa bar
She clеaned me out and hit it on the sly
I triеd to kill the pain, I bought some wine, I hopped a train
Seemed easier than waiting around to die
[Verse 4]
I had a friend who said he knew where some easy money was
We robbed a man and, brother, did we fly
His posse caught up with me and drug me back to Muskogee
Now it's two long years just waiting around-
Two long years just waiting around-
Two long years just waiting around-
Two long years of waiting around to die
[Verse 5]
Now I'm out of prison, I got me a friend at last
He don't drink or cheat or steal or lie
His name is Codeine, and he's the nicest thing I've seen
Together we're gonna wait around-
Together we're gonna wait around and die
