Ain't Livin' Long Like This lyrics
(Rodney Crowell)
I looked for trouble and found it son Straight down the barrel of a lawman’s gun I’d try to run but I don’t think I can If I move I’m a dead man Ain’t livin’ long like this I can’t live at all like this can I baby He slipped the cuffs on behind my back Then left me freezing on a steel rail rack They got ‘em all in the jailhouse don’t they baby I ain’t livin’ long like this Can’t live at all like this can I baby Grew up in Houston off a wayside drive Son of a carhop in an all-night dive He drove a stock car to an early death All I remember is a drunk man’s breath Ain’t livin’ long like this I 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 I can’t sleep at all in the jailhouse can I baby Ain’t livin’ long like this I can’t live at all like this can I baby 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 I 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 don’t they baby Ain’t livin’ long like this I can’t live at all like this can I baby Ain’t livin’ long like this I swear I can’t live at all like this can I baby Oh baby Take it home for me Ain’t livin’ long like this am I baby
