[D]
[A]
I looked for trouble and I found this son
Straight down the barrel of a lawman's gun
I tried to run but I don't think I can
You make one move and you're a dead man's friend
Ain't living [D] long like this
Ain't [A] living like this in my baby
He [D]
[Eb] [E] slipped the handcuffs on behind my back
Then left me reeling on a steel rail rack
He [D] got them all in the table
Ain't [A] living long like this in my baby
Grew up in Houston off the wayside drive
Son of a car hoppin' some all night drive
Dad drove a stock car to an early death
All I remember was a drunk man's breath
Ain't [D] living long like this
Ain't [A] living long like this in my baby
We [E] know the story how the wheel goes round
Don't let them take you to the man downtown
Can't [D] sleep at all in the jailhouse baby
Ain't
[A] living long like this
Ain't living long like this in my baby

live for Angel she's a roadhouse queen
Make Texas Ruby look like Sanford Beacon
I want to love her but I don't know how
I'm at the bottom of the jailhouse now
Ain't [D] living long like [F] this
[A] [D]
Ain't [A] living long like this in my baby
You [B] [E] know the story about the jailhouse guy
Don't wanna do it but just don't get caught
They [D] got them all in the [Bm]
