[Gm]

[Gm]
Sometimes I don't know where this [Cm] dirty road is taking me
[Gm] Sometimes I don't know the reason why
So I guess I'll keep gambling [Cm] lots of booms and lots of rambling
But [Gm] it's easier than just waiting around to die
[Eb] My
[Gm]
one time friend, I had a [Cm] man, I even had a pie
[Gm] He beat her with a belt [D] once, cause she cried
She [Gm] told him to take care of me, [Cm] she headed down to Tennessee
Well [Gm] it's easier [G] than just waiting [Gm] around to die
[Eb] [Gm]
Then I came of age and I found a [Cm] girl in a Tuscaloosa bar
[Gm] She cleaned me out and she hit it on the [G] side
Well [Gm] I tried to kill the pain, I bought [Cm] some wine off the train
Well [Gm] it's easier than just waiting around to die
[Eb] [Gm]
And a friend said he knew [Cm] where some easy money was
[Gm] We robbed a man and brother, [D] did we fly
[Gm] But Posse caught up with me and they [Cm] dragged me back to my school here
[Gm] And now it's too long [G] here, it's waiting [Gm] around to die
[Eb] [Gm]
Now I'm out of prison [Cm] and I got a new friend that lies
[Gm] And he don't steal or cheat or drink or [D] [G] lie
[Gm] Well his name is Codeine and [Cm] he's a nice little thing I'm saying
And
[Gm] together [D] we're gonna wait [Gm] around to die
