Ain’t Living Long Like This

Ain’t Living Long Like This
by Waylon Jennings
 
G
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
             C
Ain't living long like this
              G
Can't live at all like this can I baby
   D7
He slipped the handcuffs on behind my back
 
And left me reeling on a steel reel rack
            C
They got'em all in the jailhouse baby
             G
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
             C
Ain't living long like this
              G
Can't live at all like this  can I baby
    D7
You know the story how the wheel goes 'round
 
Don't let them take you to the man down town
               C
Can't sleep at all in a jailhouse baby
             G
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
      C
Ain't living long like this
              G
Can't live at all like this can I baby
    D7
You know the story about the jailhouse rock
 
Don't want to do it but just don't get caught
            C
They got'em all in the jailhouse baby
             G
Ain't living long like this
 
Can't live at all like this  can I baby
