D 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
Ain't living l D ong like this
Can't live at A all like this,can i baby?
He s E lipped the handcuffs on behind my back
And left me reeling on a steel reel rack
They got'em D all in the jailhouse baby
Ain't living lo A ng like this
Can't live at all like this,can i baby?
Verse 2:
G A rew 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 l D ong like this
Can't live at A all like this,can i baby?
You E know the story how the wheel goes 'round
Don't let them take you to the man down town
Can't sleep at D all in a jailhouse baby
Ain't living l A ong like this
Can't live at all like this,can i baby?
Verse 3:
I l A ive 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 l D ong like this
Can't live at A all like this,can i baby?
You E know the story about the jailhouse rock
Don't want to do it but just don't get caught
They got'em D all in the jailhouse baby
Ain't living l A ong like this
Can't live at all like this,can i baby?
