************** I AIN'T LIVING LONG LIKE THIS *************
written by Rodney Crowell
performed by Waylon Jennings.
Verse 1:
F C
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
F
Ain't living long like this
C
Can't live at all like this,can i baby?
G
He slipped the handcuffs on behind my back
And left me reeling on a steel reel rack
F
They got'em all in the jailhouse baby
C
Ain't living long like this
Can't live at all like this,can i baby?
Verse 2:
C
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
F
Ain't living long like this
C
Can't live at all like this,can i baby?
G
You know the story how the wheel goes 'round
Don't let them take you to the man down town
F
Can't sleep at all in a jailhouse baby
C
Ain't living long like this
Can't live at all like this,can i baby?
Verse 3:
C
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
F
Ain't living long like this
C
Can't live at all like this,can i baby?
G
You know the story about the jailhouse rock
Don't want to do it but just don't get caught
F
They got'em all in the jailhouse baby
C
Ain't living long like this
Can't live at all like this,can i baby?
