I Ain't Living Long Like This Lyrics - Waylon Jennings

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 long like this 

Can't live at all like this, can i baby? 

He slipped the handcuffs on behind my back 

And left me reeling on a steel reel rack 

They got'em all in the jailhouse baby 

Ain't living long like this 

Can't live at all like this, can i baby?

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

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 long like this 

Can't live at all like this, can i baby? 

You know the story how the wheel goes 'round 

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

Can't sleep at all in a jailhouse baby 

Ain't living long like this 

Can't live at all like this, can i 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 living long like this 

Can't live at all like this, can i baby?

You know the story about the jailhouse rock 

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

They got'em all in the jailhouse baby 

Ain't living long like this 

Can't live at all like this, can i baby?
