Ain't Living Long Like This

I looked for trouble and I found it son Straight down the barrel of a law man's gun I tried to run but I don't think I can You make one move and you're a dead man friend Ain't living long like this Ain't living long like this He stuck the handcuffs behind my back Left me reeling on a steel reel rack They got em all in the jailhouse baby Ain't living long like this Ain't living long like this Grew up in Texas on the wayside drive Son of a carhop and some all night dives Dad drove a stock car to an early death All I remember was a drunk man's breath Ain't living long like this Ain't living long like this You know how the story how the wheel goes round Don't let them take you to the man downtown They got em all in the jailhouse baby Ain't living long like this Ain't living long like this I live for Angel she's a roadhouse queen Makes 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 living long like this Ain't living long like this You know the story about the jailhouse rock Don't want to do it but just don't get caught Ain't living long like this Ain't living long like this --- Ain't Living Long Like This - Daniel Donato
