Bill Lloyd - Waiting Around to Die

Текст с Bandcamp’a: “This prisoner is out of jail by the end of the song, but it remains a bleak ballad. I have have changed some place names to make it an Irish story, but it could be set anywhere. 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 Once I had a ma I even had a pa He hit her with a belt once ’cause she cried She said to him to take care of me Headed back to Ininsfree It was easier than just waitin’ around to die I came of age and I found a girl In a Countu Cavan bar She cleaned me out and hit in on the sly I tried to kill the pain, bought some wine And jumped a plane, It 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 The posse caught up with me And drug me back to Kilcogee Now it’s two years waitin’ around to die Now I’m out of prison I got me a friend at last He don’t drink or steal or cheat or lie His name’s Codine He’s the finest thing I’ve seen Together we’re just waiting around to die, Together we’re just waiting around to die. from Heavy Duty - Ballads of the Unfree, released February 1, 2018 song by Townes Van Zandt“
