Townes Van Zandt - Waiting 'Round To Die Lyrics

our existence is choiceless. and life is nothing but suffering.

Ozark brought me here

SALUDOS ESCUCHÁNDOLOS DESDE BARRANCA PERU ENERO DEL 2020

Anyone else in 2020 just wating to die ?

I wonder what he meant to say with this a lot and why it haunts me so much

I’m depressed. That’s why I’m here. Long live Townes Van Zant. 😭

long live you buddy, hope it all works out

I can relate with this song

I don't give a shit what brought me here and you don't either.

Good song.

We all die, how we get there can be valuable and interesting or just waiting round to die, you must love money boi, money is the only thing people value.

a real person directed me here

Bob Dylan brought me here.

Commenting on a Sargon video brought me here. Good stuff. *sips wine*

Opiate love

This song puts a scene of me getting fucked in the ass in a bathroom while super hungover

Ozark 2019 brought my 33 yr old ass here and if anyone in this world is reading this comment I just wanna say ; Saul Goodman....(it's all good man) I love you. Hope 2020 is awesome.

I bought his songs on vinyl and then on polycarbonate and aluminium and now I listen to them on here - nothing's changed really.

I don’t know how I got hear, but I know I’ve been hear before

The most under appreciated genius of his time. He was a deeply troubled man who wrote the most amazing songs and most people don't have a clue about him. He was a genius.

Bloody life brought me here

Nothing brought mehere, it camed to me

A woman that slipped away and a hefty amount of whiskey brought me here.

a life time of depression and the be good tanyas, thats how I'm here......

This line is so amazing "his name is codeine and he's the only friend I've seen, together we're gonna wait around to die." It highlights his drug use and shows how far gone he is.

God I love Heroin.

Sad my ass this shit ROCKS HARD.

Random chance brought me here.

Lost dog

History brought me here, and a good time.

He wrote hopeless songs alright.

PIERRE BROUGHT ME HERE

My drinkin alone music ..

I hate Johnny Cash. He is a faggot.

Loneliness IS the natural state. It's life-long. It may or may not be relieved by love. I want to rescue Music. Townes is a guidepost, hell he's a :Lighthouse for that purpose. E.V.Hodge - Nightangel, "Unifier", 2020. See ya there, good people.

That part of me that tells me to pull the trigger brought me here.

Waiting around to die is a good title for an autobiography of everyone I've ever met. Neck-fold comes courtesy of the states.

Hell on wheels brought me here

reminds me of my drug abuse and depression

for real

If ve suffer from evil world and bad people where we are alone, wrong color and poor there is no cure. Would do all that lovely things that he did... But for me they are just stupid... nothing would change I would just fuck myself up... and live would be even more beautiful. Probably I will just wait and die. We will all die... even the greatest swines of this world.

Whenever I get to feelin' too cheerful I listen to Townes to restore my pessimism.

depressing but lovely

Cough syrup brought me here.

My good friend brought me here, we obviously are a couple sad men. Listening to this song at the graveyard drinking cheap whiskey and beer. I love this song probably more than any other.

Ain't got no woman, no joy, no faith...just waitin' 'round to die!

Иногда я не знаю, куда эта грязная дорога ведет меня.
Иногда я даже не понимаю почему.
Я продолжаю играть, пьянствовать, скитаться:
Все лучше, чем просто дожидаться смерти.

Когда-то у меня была мать, и даже был отец.
Однажды он избил ее ремнем, чтобы не плакала.
Она просила позаботиться обо мне и отправилась в Теннесси:
Все лучше, чем просто дожидаться смерти.

Я вырос и встретил девушку в Таскалуском баре.
Она обчистила меня и сбежала тайком.
Я пытался убить боль, купил вина, запрыгнул в поезд:
Казалось проще, чем дожидаться смерти.

Один друг сказал мне, как легко достать деньги.
Мы ограбили человека, братец, и удрали.
Фараоны догнали меня, притащили назад в Маскоги:
Два длинных года в ожидании смерти.

И вот я вышел из тюрьмы и, наконец, нашел друга.
Он не ловчит, не пьет, не лжет и не крадет.
Его зовут Кодеин, и это лучшее, что я видел:
Мы вместе подождем и встретим смерть.

Townes is the truth, children.

Note to self: Stay away from gals in Tuscaloosa bars

met him once.. when i heard this song knew i was in the presence of greatness ...

The duality of life brought me here.

The absolute state of the human soul. Jesus saves.

i allready commented and then read the others ,,hahah holy geez kinda shows ya who townes fan are........ pretty cool bunch

god i love this shit..i must be retarded..this hugs my soul caresses my being

Drenched in misery

Ah hid name is Codeine,he's the nicest thing I've seen 🖕💀

She told him to take care of me,headed down to Tennessee 🖕seemed easier

Had a woman clean me out and hit it on the sly, brought me here. Her names Presley blevins from dade Georgia , total whore and thief.This and cedar town georgia fit her perfect.
Now I have a bitchin' family so fucker.

This is Townes masterpiece for long term hopelessness......its kept me hanging in for decades

I'm here because this is the theme song for the random catastrophe we call "Creation". When it was pitched this was the OST playing in the background.

Being on coke brought me here.

Can anyone help me identify the key of the harmonica in this song?

I come from a background a lot like Townes. Maybe that's why I feel like I'm just waiting around to die too.
Or to put it in Leonard Cohen's words, "I've got no future, I know my days are few. The present's not that pleasant, Just a lot of things to do. I thought the past would last me, but the Darkness got that too."

The saddest thing, the replay button will die before me.

Suicidal ideation brought me here.

The ravens croaking on my overgrown chutes above my front door brought...

Never listen to the friend talking about easy money !!!!

My depressive alcoholism brought me here

https://youtu.be/dFh71_ftxLE

Your mom brought me here

hopeless fact: i clicked on the video and realized sitting on my table with the exact same pose...

This song is absolutely brutal.

life makes everyone strange if you keep living long enough

My search engine brought me here

“What I aimed for the head?!” AJ (the walking dead telltale)

TWd final season

what gets you down? in a hit i mean .. sleeping for 24 hours ..

Got.....damn! In a Tuscaloosa bar.......

And I thought clementine was gonna die

UwU;;;;;;

Excellent quality of sound on this. Greatest song ever. For a different take on this try the Be Good Tonyas version. Mr Van Zandt captures that mood you’re in when you need to hear something sadder than how you feel.

What a man

Memento Vivere
quia
Memento Mori

The road is narrow, icy, steep
I’ve made promises
I cannot keep
If only I could get some sleep
But sleep just will not come

Song fits me pretty damn well. I ain't sitting though, I'm sleeping.

Wanna kill myself, feel like it's the best way to kill Satan

A sad song is in my word is a happy song because I feel the connection

Here’s to all the other hopeless kin.

I was brought here at gunpoint...somebody call the damn cops!

Yo to 199 who didn’t like this ! Well you can all kiss my ass with your tongue out!

this song makes me feel like an outlaw

The Be Good Tanyas brought me here.

Just waiting round to die brought me here

Smoking brought me here.

No matter his faults, they were obliviously his fame, His Pain and fortune he pissed away.... Will never take away from the fact, he oozed talent.... His lyrics . . His love for them....

The Be Good Tanyas bought me here. 
I love their cover, I wanted to hear the original

The cover is better

My last wish before suicide brought me here.

Losing my wife to breast cancer brought me here

Sending Much Love Sir

Ozark version

I had a pa amk yerinde. Hem de ne pa. Hepinizi sikerdi.

Why do I get Trash metal in my recomamdation?

Jeffrey lee Pierce and Johnny Cash brought me here. Love you Townes...

Being homeless on the road brought me here. LSD brought me back.

Learning guitar brought me here. If you are reading this, you've just acquired 5,000 years of good luck starting this very moment 🌠🌟⭐
