I Ain't Living Long Like This

I look for trouble and I found it son
 Straight down the barrel of a law man's gun
 I tried to run but I don't think I can
 You make one move and you're a dead man friend
 Ain't living long like this
 Can't live at all like this, can I baby?
 He slipped the handcuffs on behind my back
 And left me reeling on a steel reel rack
 They got 'em all in the jailhouse baby
 Ain't living long like this
 Can't live at all like this, can I baby?
 Grew up in Houston off the wayside drives
 Son of a car-hop and some all night dives
 Dad drove a stock car to an early death
 All I remember was a drunk man's breath
 Ain't living long like this
 Can't live at all like this, can I baby?
 You know the story how the wheel goes 'round?
 Don't let them take you to the man downtown
 Can't sleep at all in a jailhouse baby
 Ain't living long like this
 Can't live at all like this, can I baby?
 I live with angel she's a roadhouse queen
 Makes Texas Ruby look like Sandra Dee
 I want to love her but I don't know how
 I'm at the bottom in 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?
 Don't want to do it but just don't get caught
 They got 'em all in the jailhouse baby
 Ain't living long like this
 Can't live at all like this, can I baby?
