Aint Living Long Like This Chords & Lyrics - Waylon Jennings

[A]I looked for trouble and I found it son

Straight down the barrel of a lawman's gun
[A]I tried to run but I don't think I can
[A]You make one move and you're a dead man friend
Ain't living [D]long like this
Can't live at [A]all like this can I baby
[E]He slipped the handcuffs on behind my back

And left me reeling on a steel rail rack
They got'em [D]all in the jailhouse baby
I Ain't living l[A]ong like this
[A]Grew up in Houston off the 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
Ain't living lo[D]ng like this
Can't live at [A]all like this can I baby
W[E]e know the story how the wheel goes 'round

Don't let them take you to the man downtown
They got em [D]all in the jailhouse baby
Ain't living [A]long like this

Can't live at all like this can i baby

[SOLO]

[A]I live with Angel she's a roadhouse queen
[A]Makes Texas Ruby look like Sandra Dee
[A]I want to love her but I don't know how

I'm at the bottom of the jailhouse now
Ain't living [D]long like this
Can't live at [A]all like this can I baby
[E]You know the story about the jailhouse rock

Go on and do it but just don't get caught
They got em all[D] in the jailhouse baby
Ain't living [A]long like this

Can't live at all like this can i baby

Ain't living long like this

[D] [A] [D] [A] [D] [A] and fade out
