[D]
[A]
I looked for trouble and I found this son
Way 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
Well, they live [D] it long like this
They [A] live it like this in my baby's
He [E] split the hacker from behind my back
They left me reeling on a steel rail
Like you [D] got a hole in the jailhouse, baby
They [A] live it long like this in my baby's
Grew up in Houston off the Waste Night Drive
Son of a cop in some all-night drive
That drove a stock car to a girl's head
All I remember was a drunk man
Well, they live [D] it long like this
They [A] live it long like this in my baby's
[E] We know the story how the wheel goes round
Don't let them take you to the man down town
Can't [D] sleep in our jailhouse, baby
They [A] live it long like this
They live it long like this in my baby's
[D]
[Am] [A]

[D]
[Ab] [A]
I live with Angel, she's a roadhouse queen
Make Texas Ruby look like Van Der Beek
I want to love her but I don't know how
I'm at the bottom of the jailhouse
Now, ain't [D] they live it long like this?
[F] [D]
They [A] live it long like this in my baby's
You [B] [E] know the story about the jailhouse, right?
Don't wanna do it but just don't get caught
They [D] got a long
[Bm] [C] [D] way back
They [A] live it long like this
They live it long like this in my baby's
