Ain't Livin' Long Like This Lyrics

I looked for trouble and found it son
Straight down the barrel of a lawman�s gun
I�d try to run but I don�t think I can
If I move I�m a dead man

Ain�t livin� long like this
I can�t live at all like this can I baby
He slipped the cuffs on behind my back
Then left me freezing on a steel rail rack
They got �em all in the jailhouse don�t they baby
I ain�t livin� long like this
Can�t live at all like this can I baby

Grew up in Houston off a wayside drive
Son of a carhop in an all-night dive
He drove a stock car to an early death
All I remember is a drunk man�s breath
Ain�t livin� long like this
I can�t live at all like this can I baby

We know the story how the wheel goes �round
Don�t let �em take you to the man downtown
I can�t sleep at all in the jailhouse can I baby
Ain�t livin� long like this
I can�t live at all like this can I baby

I live for Angel she�s the roadhouse queen
Make Texas Ruby look like Sandra Dee
I want to love her but I don�t know how
I�m at the bottom of the jailhouse now
Ain�t livin� long like this
I can�t live at all like this can I baby

You know the story �bout the jailhouse rock
Go on and do it just don�t get caught
They got �em all in the jailhouse don�t they baby
Ain�t livin� long like this
I can�t live at all like this can I baby

Ain�t livin� long like this
I swear I can�t live at all like this can I baby
Oh baby
Take it home for me
Ain�t livin� long like this am I baby
