Ain't Livin' Long Like This

I looked for trouble and found it, son
 Straight down the barrel of a lawman's gun
 I'd try to run but I don't think I can
 If I move I'm a dead man
 (Chorus)
 Ain't livin' long like this
 I can't live at all like this, can I baby
 He slipped the cuffs on behind my back
 Then left me freezing on a steel rail rack
 They got 'em all in the jailhouse, don't they baby
 I ain't livin' long like this
 Can't live at all like this, can I baby
 Grew up in Houston off a wayside drive
 Son of a carhop in an all-night drive-in
 He drove a stock car to an early death
 All I remember is a drunk man's breath
 Ain't livin' long like this
 I 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
 I can't sleep at all in the jailhouse, can I baby
 Ain't livin' long like this
 Can't live at all like this, can I baby
 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, don't they baby
 Ain't livin' long like this
 Can't live at all like this, can I baby
 Ain't livin' long like this, am I baby
