I Ain`t Living Long Like This Lyrics

Verse 1:

 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

 Ain't living long like this

 Can't live at all like this, can I baby?

 He slipped the handcuffs on behind my back	

 And left me reeling on a steel reel rack

 They got 'em all in the jailhouse baby

 Ain't living long like this	

 Can't live at all like this, can I baby?

 

 Verse 2:

 Grew up in Houston off the wayside drives	

 Son of a carhop and some all night dives	

 Dad drove a stock car to an early death	

 All I remember was a drunk man's breath

 Ain't living long like this

 Can't live at all like this, can I baby?

 You know the story how the wheel goes 'round	

 Don't let them take you to the man down town

 Can't sleep at all in a jailhouse baby

 Ain't living long like this	

 Can't live at all like this, can I baby?

 

 Verse 3:

 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 know how	

 I'm at the bottom in the jailhouse now

 Ain't living long like this

 Can't live at all like this, can I baby?

 You know the story about the jailhouse rock	

 Don't want to do it but just don't get caught

 They got 'em all in the jailhouse babyAin't living long like this	

 Can't live at all like this, can I baby?
