Sometimes I don't even know where this dirty road is taking me
Sometimes I don't even know the reasons why
I guess I'll keep on ramblin', lots of booze and lots of gamblin'
It's easier than just waitin' around to die
I had a ma, I even had a pa
He hit her with a belt once cause she cried
Told him to take care of me, headed back to Tennessee
It was easier than just waitin' around to die
I came of age and I met a girl in a Tuscaloosa bar
She cleaned me out and hit it on the sly
I tried to kill the pain, I bought some wine and hopped to train
Was easier than just waitin' around to die
A friend said he knew where some easy money was
We robbed a man and brother did we fly
They caught up with me, they drug me back to Muskogee
Four long years waitin' around to die
