                               [Intro]  D  A
                                     A
                  I looked for trouble and I found it son,
                                     A
                Straight down the barrel of a lawman's gun.
                                     A
                  I'd try to run but I don't think I can,
                                     A
              You make one move and you're a dead man, friend.
                                     D
                        Ain't livin' long like this,
                                          A
                  Can't live at all like this, can I baby?
                                     E
                He slipped the handcuffs on behind my back,
                                     E
                Then left me freezin' on a steel rail rack.
                                     D
                 Can't sleep at all in the jailhouse baby,
                                           A
                        Ain't livin' long like this.
                                     A
                  Grew up in Houston on the wayside drive,
                                     A
                  Son of a car hop in some all nite dive.
                                     A
                  Dad drove a stock car to an early death,
                                     A
                 All I remember was a drunk man's breathe.
                                       D
                        Ain't livin' long like this,
                                            A
                  Can't live at all like this, can I baby?
                                     E
                We know the story how the wheel goes 'round,
                                     E
                Don't let 'em take you to the man downtown,
                                       D
                  They got 'em all in the jailhouse baby.
                                            A
                        Ain't livin' long like this,

                                     A
                I live for Angel, she's a road house queen,
                                     A
                   Makes Texas Ruby look like Sandra Dee.
                                     A
                  I want to love her but I don't know how,
                                     A
                   I'm at the bottom of a jailhouse now.
                                          D

                                     E

                                     E
                Go on and do it, but just don't get caught.
                                         D
                  They got 'em all in the jailhouse baby.
                                          A
                      Oh, ain't livin' long like this.
                                   Oh no!
