Lyrics
You looked for trouble and you found it, son Straight down the barrel of a lawman's gun You try to run, but I don't think you can You make one move and you're dead man, friend Ain't living long like this Can't live at all like this, can I, baby? He put the handcuffs on behind your back Left you freezing on the steel rail rack They got 'em all in the jailhouse, baby 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 you remember is a drunk man's breath Ain't living long like this Oh, I can't live at all like this, can I, baby? You 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 Ain't living long like this Can't live at all like this, can I, baby? ♪ You live with 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 Ain't living long like this Can't live at all like this, can I, baby? You know the story about the jailhouse rock Go on and do it, but just don't get caught Can't sleep at all in the jailhouse, baby Ain't living long like this Can't live at all like this, can I, baby? Can't live at all like this (can I, baby?)
