Waylon Jennings - Aint Living Long Like This

      [Verse 1]
A
I looked for trouble and I found it son

Straight down the barrel of a lawman's gun
A
I tried to run but I don't think I can

You make one move and you're a dead man friend

[Chorus]
             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

left me reeling on a steel rail rack
             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

[Verse 2]
A
Grew up in Houston off the wayside drive

Son of a carhop in some all night dive
A
Dad drove a stock car to an early death

All I remember was a drunk man's breath

[Chorus]
             D
Ain't living long like this
              A
Can't live at all like this, can I baby
E
  We 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 the jailhouse baby
             A
Ain't living long like this

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

[Solo]

[Verse 3]
A
I live with Angel, she's a roadhouse queen

Makes Texas Ruby look like Sandra Dee
A
I want to love her but I don't know how

I'm at the bottom of the jailhouse now

[Chorus]
             D
Ain't living long like this
              A
Can't live at all like this, can I baby
E
  You know the story about the jailhouse rock

Go on and 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

[Outro]
D      A      D      A      D      A      and fade out
