(rodney crowell)

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
