I looked for trouble and found it son A Straight down the barrel of a lawman?s gun A I try to run but I don?t think I can A You make one move and you?re a dead man D Ain?t livin? long like this A I can?t live at all like this can I baby E He slipped the cuffs on behind my back E Then left me freezing on a steel rail rack D They got ?em all in the jailhouse baby A Ain?t livin? long like this A Can?t live at all like this, can I baby Grew up in Houston off a wayside drive Son of a carhop in some all-night dive Dad drove a stock car to an early death All I remember was a drunk man?s breath Ain?t livin? 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 Can?t sleep at all in the jailhouse baby Ain?t livin? long like this Can?t live at all like this, can I baby Instrumental I live for Angel, she?s the roadhouse queen Make 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 Ain?t livin? 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 just don?t get caught They got ?em all in the jailhouse, baby Ain?t livin? long like this I can?t live at all like this, can I baby Instrumental Fade out?
