Start Jamming...
[D] [A]
I look for trouble and I found this son
Straight down the barrel of a lawman's gun
I try to run but I don't think I can
You make one move and you're a dead man
Well, [D] he ain't living long like this
Ain't [A] living long like this, is my baby
He [E] slipped the handcuff from behind my back
Then left me reeling on a steel rail rocket
Got [D] them all in the jailhouse, baby
Ain't living [A] long like this
Ain't living long like this, is my baby
Grew up in Houston off the wayside drive
Son of a car hoppin' some all night drive
Dad drove a stock car to a girl's death
All I remember was a drunk man's breath
Ain't [D] living long like this
Ain't [A] living long like this, is my baby
We [E] know the story how the wheel goes round
Don't let them take you to the man downtown
Can't [D] sleep at all in the jailhouse, baby
Ain't [A] living long like this
Ain't living long like this, is my baby
[D]
[C] [A]
[E]
I [D]
[G] [A]
live with Angel, she's a roadhouse queen
Make Texas Ruby look like Sanford Dean
I want to love her but I don't know how
I'm at the bottom of the jailhouse
Now, ain't [D] living long like this
Ain't [A] living long like this, is my baby
You [E] know the story about the jailhouse ride
Don't want to do it but just don't get caught
They [D] got them all in the [Am] jailhouse, baby
[D] Ain't [A] living long like this
Ain't living long like this, is my baby
