[Intro]
D G A
[Verse 1]
AI looked for trouble and I found it son
AStraight down the barrel of a lawman's gun
AI tried to run but I don't think I can
You make one move and you're a Edead man Afriend
[Chorus]
Ain't living Dlong like this
Can't live at Aall like this, can I baby
D   EHe slipped the handcuffs on behind my back
Eleft me reeling on a steel rail rack
They got 'em Dall in the jailhouse babyD/F#  D/G  
Ain't living Along like this
ACan't live at all like this, can I baby
[Verse 2]
AGrew up in Houston off the wayside drive
ASon of a carhop in some all night dive
ADad drove a stock car to an early death
AAll I remember was a drunk man's breath
[Chorus]
Ain't living Dlong like this
Can't live at Aall like this, can I baby
EWe know the story how the wheel goes 'round
EDon't let them take you to the man downtown
Can't sleep at Dall in the jailhouse babyD/F#  D/G  
Ain't living Along like this
Can't live at all like this, Ecan I baAby
[Solo]
D A D G A E D E D A F#m G A
[Verse 3]
AI live with Angel, she's a roadhouse queenA/G  
AMakes Texas Ruby look like Sandra Dee
AI want to love her but I don't know how
AI'm at the bottom of the jailhouse now
[Chorus]
Ain't living Dlong like this
Can't live at Aall like this, can I baby
EYou know the story about the jailhouse rock
Go on and do it but just don't get caught
They got 'em Dall in the jailhouse baby
Ain't living Along like this
Can't live at all like this, can I baby
[Outro]
