Waiting Around To Die Lyrics - Be Good Tanyas

Sometimes I don't know where 

This stony road is taking me 

Sometimes I don't know the reason why 

So I guess I'll keep gambling 

Lots of booze and lots of rambling 

Well, it's easier than just waiting around to die 

Well, 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 

Well, it's easier than just waiting around to die 

Then I became of age 

And I found a girl in a Tuscaloosa bar 

She cleaned me out and she hit it on the sly 

Well, I tried to kill the pain 

I bought some wine, I hopped a train 

Well, it was easier than just waiting around to die 

Then a friend said he knew 

Where some easy money was 

We robbed a man and brother, did we fly 

But the posse caught up with me 

And drugged me back to Muskogee 

And now it's two long years, just waiting around to die
