Aint Living Long Like This

A 
I looked for trouble and I found it son 

Straight down the barrel of a lawman's gun 
A 
I tried to run but I don't think I can 
A 
You make one move and you're a dead man friend

He slipped the handcuffs on behind my back 

And left me reeling on a steel rail rack 
            D 
They got'em all in the jailhouse baby 
                A 
I Ain't living long like this

Grew up in Houston off the wayside drive 

Son of a carhop in some all night dive 

Dad drove a stock car to an early death 

All I remember was a drunk man's breath 
               D 
Ain't living long like this 
              A 
Can't live at all like this can I baby

We know the story how the wheel goes 'round 

Don't let them take you to the man downtown 
            D 
They got em all in  the jailhouse baby 
             A 
Ain't living long like this

I live with Angel she's a roadhouse queen 
A 
Makes Texas Ruby look like Sandra Dee 
A 
I want to love her but I don't know how 

I'm at the bottom of the jailhouse now

You know the story about the jailhouse rock 

Go on and do it but just don't get caught 
               D 
They got em all in the jailhouse baby
