[Intro]
C#m F#m C#m-G#m C#m

[Verse 1]
                                  F#m
Sometimes I don't know where This dirty road is taking me
    C#m                               G#m
Sometimes I can't even see the reason why
        C#m                            F#m              
But, I guess I keep a-gamblin' Lots of booze and lots of ramblin'
     C#m               G#               C#m
It's easier than just waitin' around to die

[Verse 2]
                                F#m         
One time, friends, I had a ma I even had a pa
   C#m                                  G#m
He beat her with a belt once 'cause she cried
    C#m                         F#m                                              
She told him to take care of me Headed down to tennessee 
     C#m               G#               C#m
It's easier than just waitin' around to die

[Verse 3]
                                      F#m                                     
I came of age and I found a girl In a Tuscaloosa bar 
    C#m                              G#m
She cleaned me out and hit in on the sly
  C#m                                  F#m 
I tried to kill the pain, bought some wine and hopped a train
       C#m              G#m               C#m
Seemed easier than just waitin' around to die

[Verse 4]
                                 F#m
A friend said he knew where some easy money was
   C#m                              G#m
We robbed a man, and brother did we fly
         C#m                         F#m
But, the posse caught up with me And drug me back to Muskogee 
     C#m               G#m               C#m     
It's two long years of waitin' around to die

[Verse 5]
                        F#m  
Now I'm out of prison I got me a friend at last 
C#m                                 G#m
He don't drink or steal or cheat or lie 
    C#m                      F#m               
His name is codeine He's the nicest thing I've seen
   C#m               G#             C#m  
Together we're gonna wait around to die
                           G#m             C#m 
Yeah, together we're gonna wait around and die
