Ain't Livin' Long Like This

[00:38.79] I looked for trouble and found it, son
[00:41.53] Straight down the barrel of a lawman's gun
[00:44.52] I'd try to run but I don't think I can
[00:47.17] If I move I'm a dead man
[00:49.29] (Chorus)
[00:49.80] Ain't livin' long like this
[00:54.91] I can't live at all like this, can I baby
[01:01.52] He slipped the cuffs on behind my back
[01:04.02] Then left me freezing on a steel rail rack
[01:06.80] They got 'em all in the jailhouse, don't they baby
[01:11.79] I ain't livin' long like this
[01:17.56] Can't live at all like this, can I baby
[01:24.26] Grew up in Houston off a wayside drive
[01:26.84] Son of a carhop in an all-night drive-in
[01:30.01] He drove a stock car to an early death
[01:32.57] All I remember is a drunk man's breath
[01:34.81] Ain't livin' long like this
[01:39.92] I can't live at all like this, can I baby
[01:46.54] We know the story how the wheel goes 'round
[01:49.34] Don't let 'em take you to the man downtown
[01:51.71] I can't sleep at all in the jailhouse, can I baby
[01:57.15] Ain't livin' long like this
[02:02.68] Can't live at all like this, can I baby
[02:38.03] I live for Angel
[02:38.97] She's the roadhouse queen
[02:40.45] Make Texas Ruby look like Sandra Dee
[02:43.09] I want to love her but I don't know how
[02:45.52] I'm at the bottom of the jailhouse now
[02:48.26] Ain't livin' long like this
[02:52.67] Can't live at all like this, can I baby
[03:00.05] You know the story 'bout the jailhouse rock
[03:02.76] Go on and do it, just don't get caught
[03:05.00] They got 'em all in the jailhouse, don't they baby
[03:10.57] Ain't livin' long like this
[03:16.03] Can't live at all like this, can I baby
[03:39.10] Ain't livin' long like this, am I baby
[03:58.67]
