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?)
