Ain't Living Long Like This

I look for trouble and I found
It son straight down the barrel
Of a lawman'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 carhop 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 O baby?

You know the story how the wheel
Goes 'round don't let them take
You to the man down town 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
