Ain't Living Long Like This Lyrics

[00:21.26] I look for trouble and I found it, son
[00:24.50] Straight down the barrel of a lawman's gun
[00:27.89] I tried to run but I don't think I can
[00:31.05] "You make one move and you're a dead man, friend"
[00:33.48] Ain't living long like this
[00:39.79] I can't live at all like this, can I, baby?
[00:47.55] He slipped the handcuffs on behind my back
[00:50.84] Then left me freezing on a steel rail rack
[00:53.54] They got 'em all in the jailhouse, baby
[00:59.84] I ain't living long like this
[01:07.75] Grew up in Houston off of Wayside Drive
[01:10.98] Son of a carhop at some all night dive
[01:14.24] Dad drove a stock car to an early death
[01:17.41] All I remember was a drunk man's breath
[01:20.07] Ain't living long like this
[01:26.22] I can't live at all like this, can I, baby?
[01:34.02] You know the story how the wheel goes 'round
[01:37.44] Don't let them take you to the man downtown
[01:40.06] They got 'em all in the jailhouse, baby
[01:46.07] I ain't living long like this
[01:52.79] I can't live at all like this, can I, baby?
[02:00.26]
[02:33.98] I live for Angel, she's a roadhouse queen
[02:37.42] Makes Texas Ruby look like Sandra Dee
[02:40.62] I want to love her but I don't know how
[02:43.98] Down on the bottom of the jailhouse now
[02:46.38] Ain't living long like this
[02:52.70] I can't live at all like this, can I, baby?
[03:00.40] You know the story about the jailhouse rock
[03:03.96] Go on and do it, but just don't get caught
[03:06.53] They got 'em all in the jailhouse, baby
[03:12.56] I ain't living long like this
[03:19.12] I can't live at all like this, can I, baby?
[03:26.74]
[04:45.25] One, two, three, four, five
[04:47.26]
