Waiting Around To Die
Reviewing old conversations of our forum I found this thread of "Rare Videos" that we mentioned in the old music videos of 60 and 70 are hard to find.
One of our friends we present this video of Townes Van Zandt performing the classic "Waiting Around To Die" and I am preparing a review I thought it would be a good idea to retrieve this document here.
The clip shows the Tejano music at home, playing with his girlfriend and his neighbor, and it is shocking to see the expression on their faces ranging and emotion as it progresses interpretation.
Waiting Around To Die
Sometimes I do not know where this dirty road is taking me
Sometimes I can not 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 because she cried eleven
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
I do not drink or steal or cheat or lie
His name's codeine, he's the nicest thing I've seen
Together we're gonna wait around and die
