| I looked for trouble and I found it son
|
| Straight down the barrel of a lawman’s gun
|
| I’d try to run but I don’t think I can
|
| You make one move and you’re a dead man friend
|
| I ain’t living long like this
|
| I can’t live at all like this can I baby
|
| He slipped the handcuffs on behind my back
|
| Then left me freezin' on a steelrail rack
|
| I can’t sleep at all I’m in the jailhouse baby
|
| I ain’t living long like this
|
| Grew up in Houston off of 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
|
| I ain’t living 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
|
| They got 'em all in the jailhouse baby
|
| I ain’t living long like this
|
| I live for an angel she’s a 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
|
| I ain’t living long like this
|
| I can’t live at all like this can I baby
|
| Ya’ll know the story bout the jailhouse rock
|
| Go on and do it but just don’t get caught
|
| They got 'em all in the jailhouse baby
|
| I ain’t living long like this
|
| I can’t live at all like this can I baby
|
| I ain’t living long like this |
