Rodney Crowell ~ I Ain't Living Long Like This chords
Start Jamming...
I had a dog named Banjo who I refused to put on a leash, so I got 46 leash law violations.
And I refused to pay them.
I couldn't get the dog catchers to understand
the nature of how intelligent this dog was.
So they had enough of me and they came one day.
And I had started working on the song in the afternoon and they just politely took me to jail,
where I proudly wrote the last verse of the song in jail.
And my then girlfriend came and got me
out of jail.
And I had a finished song and I never did put Banjo on a leash.

Grew up in Houston on the West Side Drive.
Son of a cop is a monad guy.
Died of a stock car turn early death.
All I remember was a drunk dance, [D] but I ain't living long like this.
I [Am] can't live at [A] all like this.
Can I be bad?
[E] Y'all know the story how the wheel goes round.
Don't let them take you to the man [D] downtown.

She's a roadhouse queen.
Make Texas Ruby look like Sandra Dee.

Down on the bottom of the jailhouse.

Gonna do it, but don't [D] get caught.
