I Ain't Living Long Like This

[00:12.74] You looked for trouble and you found it, son
[00:15.70] Straight down the barrel of a lawman's gun
[00:19.08] You try to run but I don't think you can
[00:22.25] You make one move and you're a dead man friend
[00:24.62] Ain't living long like this
[00:30.30] Can't live it long like this, can you baby?
[00:37.86] He put the handcuffs on behind your back
[00:41.01] Left you freezin' on a steelrail truck
[00:43.27] They got 'em all in the jailhouse, baby
[00:49.31] Ain't living long like this
[00:54.40]
[00:56.66] Grew up in Houston off of wayside drive
[00:59.48] Son of a carhop in some old night dive
[01:02.69] Dad drove a stock car to an early death
[01:05.97] All you remember was a drunk man's breath
[01:08.40] Ain't living long like this
[01:12.17]
[01:14.23] Can't live at all like this, can you baby?
[01:21.21] You know the story how the wheel go round
[01:24.41] Don't let 'em take you to the man downtown
[01:26.98] They got 'em all in the jailhouse, baby
[01:32.80] Ain't living long like this
[01:39.05] Can't living long like this, can you baby?
[02:11.08]
[02:29.15] You live for angel, she's a roadhouse queen
[02:32.35] Make Texas Ruby look like Sandra Dee
[02:35.55] You want to love her but you don't know how
[02:38.58] You're at the bottom of the jailhouse now
[02:41.22] Ain't living long like this
[02:46.92] Can't live at all like this, can you baby?
[02:54.03] You know the story 'bout the jailhouse rock
[02:56.98] Go on and do it but just don't get caught
[02:59.43] 'Cause they got all in the jailhouse, baby
[03:05.30] Ain't living long like this
[03:11.42] Can't living long like this, can you baby?
[03:17.63] Ain't living long like this
[03:26.02]
[04:06.59] Rodney Crowell
[04:12.87] And we go way back to beginning of sorts for me
[04:17.96] But I like to think of as the beginning
