[Verse 1]
Em                                      A2/E              Am/E    A2/E
Sometimes I don't know where this dirty road is taking me
Em                        B7
   Sometimes I don't know    the reason why
     Em                                   A2/E                       Am/E    A2/E
So I guess I'll keep a-gamblin' lots of  booze  and lots of ramblin'
         Em                 B7              Em
But it's easier than just a-waitin' around       to die

Oh one time, friends, I had a ma          I even had a pa
   Em                               B7
He beat her with a belt once 'cause    she cried
         Em                         A2/E                      Am/E    A2/E
She told him to take care of me she headed  down to Tennessee
         Em                 B7              Em
But it's easier than just a-waitin' around      to die

[Verse 3]
Em                                         A2/E            Am/E    A2/E
Then I came of age and I found a girl in a Tuscaloosa bar
    Em                                   B7
She cleaned me out and she hit in on the sly
       Em                                 A2/E                       Am/E    A2/E
Well I tried to kill the pain, I bought some wine and hopped a train
          Em                 B7              Em
Well it's easier than just a-waitin' around      to die

[Verse 4]
Em                                  A2/E                Am/E    A2/E
And a friend said he knew where some     easy money was
   Em                               B7
We robbed a man, and brother did we fly
        Em                               A2/E                         Am/E    A2/E
But the posse caught up with me and they  drug  me back to Mus-ko-gee
             Em              B7                Em
And now it's two long years a-waitin' around to die

Now I'm out of prison and I  got  me a friend at last
    Em                                  B7
And he don't steal or cheat or drink or lie
         Em                        A2/E                   Am/E    A2/E
Well his name is "Codine" he's the nicest thing I've seen
       Em                 B7          Em
And to-gether we're gonna wait around       to die
