I Ain't Living Long Like This

歌詞

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 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 left me freezin' on a steelrail rack I can't sleep at all I'm in the jailhouse baby I ain't living long like this Grew up in Houston off of 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 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 They got 'em all in the jailhouse baby I ain't living long like this [ guitar ] I live for an angel she's a roadhouse queen Make Texas Ruby look like Sandra Dee I want to love her but I don't know how I'm 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 Ya'll 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 I ain't living long like this I can't live at all like this can I baby I ain't living long like this
