written by Rodney Crowell
performed by Waylon Jennings.
Verse 1: DA 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 D Ain't living long like this A Can't live at all like this,can i baby? E He slipped the handcuffs on behind my back
And left me reeling on a steel reel rack D They got'em all in the jailhouse baby A Ain't living long like this
Can't live at all like this,can i baby?
Verse 2: A 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 D Ain't living long like this A Can't live at all like this,can i baby? E You know the story how the wheel goes 'round
Don't let them take you to the man down town D Can't sleep at all in a jailhouse baby A Ain't living long like this
Can't live at all like this,can i baby?
Verse 3: A 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 D Ain't living long like this A Can't live at all like this,can i baby? E You know the story about the jailhouse rock
Don't want to do it but just don't get caught D They got'em all in the jailhouse baby A Ain't living long like this
Can't live at all like this,can i baby?
