[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
Well, ain't [D] living long like this
Ain't [A] living long like this, ain't my baby
He [E] slipped the handcuffs on behind my back
They left me reeling on a steel rail rocket
Got [D] them all in one
Ain't [A] living long like this
Ain't living long like this, ain't my baby
Grew up in Houston off the wayside drive
Son of a cop, it's a mall night drive
Dad drove a stock car to an early death
All I remember was a drunk man breath
Well, ain't [D] living long like this
Ain't [A] living long like this, ain't my baby
We [E] know the story how the wheel goes round
Don't let them take you to the man downtown
[D] Can't sleep at all in the jailhouse, baby
Ain't [A] living long like this
Ain't living long like this, ain't my baby

[G] [A]
Ain't living long like this, ain't my baby
I live for Angel, she's a roadhouse queen
Make Texas Ruby look like Stanford Dean
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
[D]
Ain't [A] living long like this, ain't my baby
You [B] [E] know the story about the jailhouse spot
Don't want to do it but just don't get caught
They [D] got them all in a [Am] jailhouse, [D] baby
Ain't [A] living long like this
Ain't living long like this, ain't my baby
