[C#] Sometimes I don't know [C#m] where this dirty road [F#m] is taking me
[C#m] Sometimes I don't even know the reason why
[G#]
So [C#] I guess I stick to gambling
Lots [F#m] of booze and lots of rambling
It's [C#m] easier than just [G#] waiting around to die
One time friends I had a ma
[F#m] I even had a pa
He [C#m] beat her with a belt once when she cried
[G#] She [C#m] told him take care of me
Headed [F#] down to Tennessee
It [C#] was easier [G#] than just waiting around to [C#m] die
I came of age and met a girl [F#m] in a Tuscaloosa bar
She cleaned me [C#m] out and hit it on [G#] the slide
I [C#] tried to kill the pain
Bought some wine and [F#m] hopped a train
It was easier than just waiting [G#] around to [C#m] die
[C#] [C#m]
A friend said he knew where some [F#m] easy money was
We [C#m] robbed a man and brother did we fly
The posse they caught up with me
Dragged me [F#m] back to Muskogee
Now it's two [G#] long years just waiting around to [C#m] die
[C#]
Now I'm out of prison
[C#] Got me a friend at last
[F#m] She don't drink or steal, she [G#] don't lie
Her [C#m] name it is Codine
She's [F#m] the sweetest thing I've seen
Together we're gonna [G#] wait around [C#] to die
[E] [C#]
[C#m] [F]
[Am] Easy come
