I Ain't Living Long Like This Lyrics - Hickory Wind - Emmylou Harris

(Rodney Crowell) 

 

You looked for trouble and you found it son 

Straight down the barrel of a lawman's gun 

You'd try to run but you don't think you 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 truck 

They got 'em all in the jailhouse, ain't they baby 

I ain't living long like this.

Grew up in Houston off of wayside drive 

Son of a carhop in some old 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 

Oh, 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 

Can't sleep at all in the jailhouse baby 

I ain't living long like this. 

 

Can't living long like this, can I baby? 

 

--- Instrumental --- 

 

You live for angel she's a roadhouse queen 

Make Texas Ruby look like Sandra Dee 

You want to love her but you don't know how 

You're 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 

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 ain't they baby 

I ain't living long like this. 

 

Can't living long like this can I baby 

Can't living long like this.
