i ain't living long like this

Lyrics

you looked for trouble and you found it son, straight down the barrel of a lawman's gun, you'd try to run but you don't think you can, you make one move and you're dead man, friend, i ain't living long like this, i can't live at all like this, can i baby, he slipped the handcuffs on behind my back, then he left me freezing on a steel rail track, they got 'em all in the jailhouse, ain't they bay, i ain't living long like this, grew up in houston off of wayside drive, son of a charhop in some all night dive, dad drove a stock car to an early death, all i remember was a drunk man's death, i ain't living long like this, i 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, i ain't living long like this, you live for angel, she's a roadhouse queen, make texas ruby look like sandra dee, you want to love her but you don't know how, you're at the bottom of the jailhouse now, i ain't living long like this, i 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, ain't they baby, i ain't living long like this
