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
             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
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
               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

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

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
