Ain't Livin Long Like This Waylon Jennings
I looked for trouble and found it son
[A]Straight down the barrel of a lawman?s gun
[A]I try to run but I don?t think I can
[A]You make one move and you?re a dead man
Ain?t livin? [D]long like this
[A]I can?t live at all like this can I baby
[E]He slipped the cuffs on behind my back
[E]Then left me freezing on a steel rail rack
They got [D]?em all in the jailhouse baby
Ain?t livin? [A]long like this
[A]Can?t live at all like this, can I baby
Grew up in Houston off a wayside drive
Son of a carhop in some all-night dive
Dad drove a stock car to an early death
All I remember was a drunk man?s breath
Ain?t livin? long like this
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
Can?t sleep at all in the jailhouse baby
Ain?t livin? long like this
Can?t live at all like this, can I baby
Instrumental
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
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, baby
Ain?t livin? long like this
I can?t live at all like this, can I baby
Instrumental
Fade out?
