I Ain't Livin' Long Like This

Lyrics

I looked for trouble and I found it son
 Straight down the barrel of a lawman's gun
 I try to run but I don't think I can
 You make one move and your a dead man friend
 Ain't livin' long like this
 I ain't livin' long like this, am I baby?
 He slipped the handcuffs on behind my back
 He left me breathing, I was still a rockin'
 Got 'em all in the jailhouse
 I ain't livin' long like this
 Grew up in Houston off the Wayside Drive
 Son of a cop as an all night dive
 That double stock got to an early death
 All I remember was a drunk man's breath
 Ain't livin' long like this
 Ain't livin' long like this, am I baby?
 We know a story how the wheel goes 'round
 Don't let 'em take it to the man downtown
 Just leave it all in the jailhouse
 I ain't livin' long like this
 ♪
 I looked for Angel, she's a roadhouse queen
 Make Texas Ruben 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
 Ain't livin' long like this, am I baby?
 You know the story 'bout the jailhouse rock
 Go on and do it but just don't get caught
 I got 'em all in the jailhouse
 Ain't livin' long like this
 ♪
 I ain't livin' long like this
 I ain't livin' long like this
 Ain't livin' long like this
 Ain't livin' long like this, am I baby?
