I Ain't Living Long Like This
In the style of
Lyrics
i looked for trouble
and i found it son
straight down
the barrel
of a lawman's gun
i'd try to run
but i don't think i can
you make one move
and you're a dead man
well ain't livin' long
like this
can't live at all
like this can i baby
he slipped
the handcuffs on
behind my back
then left me reelin'
on a steel rail rack
you got 'em all
in the jailhouse baby
ain't livin' long
like this
can't live at all
like this can i baby
grew up in houston
off the wayside drive
son of a carhop
in some
all-night dive
dad drove
a stock car
to an early death
all i remember
was a
drunk man's breath
ain't livin' long
like this
can't live at all
like this can i baby
we know the story
how the wheel
goes 'round
don't let 'em take you
to the man downtown
can't sleep at all
in the jailhouse baby
ain't livin' long
like this
can't live at all
like this can i baby
i live for angel
she's a
roadhouse queen
make texas ruby
look like sandra dee
i wanna love her
but i don't know how
i'm at the bottom
of the jailhouse now
ain't livin' long
like this
can't live at all
like this can i baby
you know the story
'bout the
jailhouse rock
go on and do it
but just
don't get caught
they got 'em all
in the jailhouse baby
ain't livin' long
like this no
can't live at all
like this can i baby
woo
