letra de waitin' round to die/kathleen - townes van zandt

sometimes i don’t know where
this dirty road is taking me
sometimes i don’t even know the reason why
but i guess i keep a-gamblin’
lots of booze and lots of ramblin’
well it’s easier than just a-waitin’ around to die

one time, friends, i had a ma
i even had a pa
well he beat her with a belt once ’cause she cried
she told him to take care of me
headed down to tennessee
well it’s easier than just a-waitin’ around to die
well 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 hide the pain, i bought some wine and hopped a train
well it’s 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
two long years waitin’ around to die

well, now i’m out of prison
i got me a friend at last
well he don’t drink or steal or cheat or lie
his name’s codeine
he’s the nicest thing i’ve seen
yah, together we’re gonna wait around and die
yah together we’re gonna wait around and die

it’s plain to see, the sun won’t shine today
but i ain’t in the mood for sunshine anyway
maybe i’ll go insane
i got to stop the pain
or maybe i’ll go down to see kathleen
a swallow comes and tells me of her dreams
she says she’d like to know just what they mean
and i feel like i could die
as i watch her flying by
ride the north wind down to see kathleen

the stars hang high above, the oceans roar
the moon is come to lead me to her door
there’s crystal across the sand
and the waves, they take my hand
and soon i’m gonna see my sweet kathleen

soon i’m gonna see my sweet kathleen
