[C#m] [F#m] [G#m] [C#m]
Sometimes I don't know where this dirty [F#m] road has taken me
[C#m] Sometimes I don't even know the reason [G#m] why
But [C#m] I guess I keep a-gambling, lots [F#m] of booze and lots of rambling
Well, [C#m] it's easier than just [G#m] a-waitin' around [C#m] to die
All one time friends I had them [F#m] all, even had a pa
[C#m] Well, he beat her with a bell once cause she [G#m]
cried
She [C#m] told him to take care of me, [F#m] headed down to Tennessee
Well, [C#m] it's easier than [G#m] just a-waitin' around [C#m] to die
Came of age and I found a [F#m] girl in a Tuscaloosa bar
Oh, she [C#m] cleaned me out and hit it on the [G#m] sly
[C#m] Well, I tried to kill the pain, I bought [F#m] some wine and hopped a train
[C#m] Seemed easier than [G#m] just a-waitin' around [C#m] to die
Then a friend said he knew [F#m] where some easy money was
[C#m] We robbed a man and brother did [G#m] we fly
The [C#m]
posse caught up with me and [F#m] drug me back to Muskogee
[C#m] And it's two long years [B] of waitin' [C#m] around to die
Oh, but now I'm out of prison, [F#m] I got me a friend at last
[C#m] He don't drink or steal or [G#m] cheat or lie
Oh, his [C#m] name's Cole Dean and [F#m] he's the nicest thing I've seen
[C#m] Well, together we're gonna [G#m] wait [C#m] around and die
Yeah, together we're gonna [G#m] wait around [C#m] and die
