lyrics

Sometimes I don't know where this dirty road is taking me
Sometimes I don't even see the reason why
I guess I keep on gamblin', lots of booze and lots of ramblin'
It's easier than just a-waitin' 'round to die

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, she headed down to Tennessee
Oh where I'm waitin' 'round to die

Now I'm out of prison, I got me a friend at last
He don't drink, cheat or smoke or lie
His name's Codeine, he's the nicest thing I've seen
Together we're gonna wait around and die
