(Rodney Crowell)

You looked for trouble and you found it son
Straight down the barrel of a lawman's gun
You try to run but I don't think you can
You make one move and you're a dead man, friend

Ain't living long like this
I can't live at all like this, can I baby
He put the handcuffs on behind your back
Left you freezing on a steel rail rack
They got 'em all in the jailhouse baby
Ain't living long like this

Grew up in Houston off of Wayside Drive
Son of a carhop in some all night dive
Dad drove a stock car to an early death
All you remember is a drunk man's breath
Ain't living long like this
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
They got 'em all in the jailhouse, baby
Ain't living long like this
Can't live at all like this, can I baby

You live for Angel, she's your 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
Ain't living long like this
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
Can't sleep at all in the jailhouse baby
Ain't living long like this
Can't live at all like this, can I baby?
