Ain't Livin' Long Like This Composer(s): Rodney Crowell Performer(s): Foghat and multiple other artists
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
