Verse 1
A
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"
D
Ain't living long like this
A
Can't live at all like this, can I baby?
E
He slipped the handcuffs on
behind my back
Then left me reeling on a steel rail rack
D
They got 'em all in the jailhouse, baby
A
Ain't living long like this
A
Can't live at all like this, can I baby?

Verse 2
A
Grew up in Houston off the Wayside Drive
Son of a carhop at some all night dive
Dad drove a stock car to an early death
All I remember was a drunk man's breath
D
Ain't living long like this
A
Can't live at all like this, can I baby?
E
You know the story
how the wheel goes 'round
Don't let them take you to the man downtown
D
Can't sleep at all in a jailhouse baby
A
Ain't living long like this
A
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 of the jailhouse now

A
Can't live at all like this, can I baby?
E
You know the story about the jailhouse rock
Don't want to do it, but just don't get caught
D
They got 'em all in the jailhouse baby
A
Ain't living long like this

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