Waitin' Around to Lie Songtext
von The Goddamn Gallows

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 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
It's easier than just a-waitin′ 'round to die


I came of age and found 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 a train
Seemed easier than just a-waitin′ 'round 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, drug me back to Muskogee
It′s two long years, just a-waitin' 'round to die

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