I Ain't Livin' Long Like This Lyrics - Singles - 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 dead man, friend 

I ain't living long like this 

I can't live at all like this, can I baby

Watch Cardi B Joins James Corden For Carpool Karaoke 

He slipped the handcuffs on behind my back 

Then he left me freezing on a stel rail track 

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

I ain't living long like this 

Grew up in Houston off of Wayside drive 

Son of a charhop in some all night dive 

Dad drove a stock car to an early death 

All I remember was a drunk man's death 

I ain't living long like this 

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 

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
