I Aint Living Long Like This chords

[G]I look for trouble and I found it son


Straight down the barrel of a lawman's gun

I tried to run but I don't think I can

You make one move and you're a dead man friend

Ain't living [C]long like this

Can't live at [G]all like this [D7]can I [G]baby

He [D7]slipped the handcuffs on behind my back


And left me reeling on a steel reel rack

They got'em [C]all in the jailhouse baby

Ain't living [G]long like this

Can't live at all like this [D7]can I [G]baby


Grew up in Houston off the wayside drives

Son of a carhop and some all night dives

Dad drove a stock car to an early death

All I remember was a drunk man's breath

Ain't living [C]long like this

Can't live at [G]all like this [D7]can I [G]baby

You [D7]know the story how the wheel goes 'round


Don't let them take you to the man down town

Can't sleep at [C]all in a jailhouse baby

Ain't living [G]long like this

Can't live at all like this [D7]can I [G]baby


I live with Angel she's a roadhouse queen

Makes Texas Ruby look like Sandra Dee

I want to love her but I don't know how

I'm at the bottom in the jailhouse now

Ain't [C]living long like this

Can't live at [G]all like this [D7]can I [G]baby

You [D7]know the story about the jailhouse rock


Don't want to do it but just don't get caught

They got'em [C]all in the jailhouse baby

Ain't living [G]long like this

Can't live at all like this [D7]can I [G]baby
