Emmylou Harris - I Ain't Living Long Like This

(verse 1)
C
You looked for trouble and you found it son,

Straight down the barrel of a lawman's gun,
C
You tried to run but I don't think you can,
C
You make one move and you're a dead man friend,

(chorus)
F
Ain't living long like this,
C
Can't live at all like this can I baby,
G
He slipped the handcuffs on behind your back,

And left me freezing on a steel rail track,
F
They got'em all in the jailhouse baby,
C
I Ain't living long like this,

(verse 2)
C
Grew up in Houston off the wayside drive,

Son of a carhop in some all night dives,

Dad drove a stock car to an early death,

All I remember was a drunk man's breath,

(chorus)
F
I Ain't living long like this,
C
Can't live at all like this can I baby,
G
You know the story how the wheel goes round,

Don't let them take you to the man downtown,
F
They got ie all in the jailhouse baby,
C
Ain't living long like this,

Can't live at all like this can I baby,

(bridge)
C
You live with Angel she's a roadhouse queen,
C
Makes Texas Ruby look like Sandra Dee,
C
You want to love her but you don't know how,

Your at the bottom in the jailhouse now,

(chorus)
F
Ain't living long like this,
C
Can't live at all like this can I baby,
G
You know the story about the jailhouse rock,

Go on and do it but just don't get caught,
F
Can't sleep at all in the jailhouse baby,
C
Ain't living long like this,

Can't live at all like this can i baby,

Ain't living long like this,

Outro - F - C - F - C - F - C
