| 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.
|
| Ain’t livin' long like this,
|
| Can’t live at all like this, can I baby?
|
| He slipped the handcuffs on behind my back,
|
| Then left me freezin' on a steel rail rack.
|
| Can’t sleep at all in the jailhouse baby,
|
| Ain’t livin' long like this.
|
| Grew up in Houston on the wayside drive,
|
| Son of a car hop in some all nite dive.
|
| Dad drove a stock car to an early death,
|
| All I remember was a drunk man’s breathe.
|
| 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,
|
| They got 'em all in the jailhouse baby.
|
| Ain’t livin' long like this,
|
| Can’t live at all like this, can I baby? |
| Ah take it!
|
| I live for Angel, she’s a road house queen,
|
| Makes Texas Ruby look like Sandra Dee.
|
| I want to love her but I don’t know how,
|
| I’m at the bottom of a 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, but just don’t get caught.
|
| They got 'em all in the jailhouse baby.
|
| Oh, ain’t livin' long like this.
|
| Oh no! |
