I Aint Living Long Like This

D A I look for trouble and I found it son Straight down the barrel of a lawman’s gun I tried to run but I don’t think I can You make one move and you’re a dead man friend D Ain’t living long like this A Can’t live at all like this, can I baby? E He slipped the handcuffs on behind my back And left me reeling on a steel reel rack D They got’em all in the jailhouse baby A Ain’t living long like this Can’t live at all like this, can I baby? A Grew up in Houston off the wayside drives Sone of a carhop and some all night drives Dad drove a stock car to an early death All I remember is a drunk man’s breath D Ain’t living long like this A Can’t live at all like this, can I baby? E You know the story how the wheel goes ‘round Don’t let them take you to the man down town D Can’t sleep at all in a jailhouse baby A Ain’t living long like this Can’t live at all like this, can I baby? A I live with Angel she’s a roadhouse queen Makes Texas Ruby look like Sandra Dee I want to love her but I don’t one how I’m at the bottom in the jailhouse now D Ain’t living long like this A Can’t live at all like this, can I baby? E You know the story about the jailhouse rock Don’t want to do it but I just don’t get caught D They got’em all in the jailhouse baby A Ain’t living long like this Can’t live at all like this, can I baby?
