Townes Van Zandt - Waiting Around to Die (Official Audio)

“Waiting Around to Die“ from Townes Van Zandt’s album Townes Van Zandt Listen/Purchase: Lyrics: Sometimes I don’t know where This dirty road is taking me Sometimes I can’t even see the reason why I guess I keep a-gamblin’ Lots of booze and lots of ramblin’ It’s easier than just waitin’ around 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 Headed down to tennessee It’s easier than just waitin’ around to die I came of age and I found a girl In a tuscaloosa bar She cleaned me out and hit in on the sly I tried to kill the pain, bought some wine And hopped a train Seemed 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 The posse caught up with me And drug me back to muskogee It
