I looked for trouble and I found it son

Straight down the barrel of a lawman's gun

I try to run but I don't think I can

You make one move and your a dead man friend

Ain't livin' long like this

I ain't livin' long like this, am I baby?

He slipped the handcuffs on behind my back

He left me breathing, I was still a rockin'

Got 'em all in the jailhouse

I ain't livin' long like this

Grew up in Houston off the Wayside Drive

Son of a cop as an all night dive

That double stock got to an early death

All I remember was a drunk man's breath

Ain't livin' long like this

Ain't livin' long like this, am I baby?

We know a story how the wheel goes 'round

Don't let 'em take it to the man downtown

Just leave it all in the jailhouse

I ain't livin' long like this

I looked for Angel, she's a roadhouse queen

Make Texas Ruben look like Sandra Dee

I wanna love her but I don't know how

I'm at the bottom of the jailhouse now

Ain't livin' long like this

Ain't livin' long like this, am I baby?

You know the story 'bout the jailhouse rock

Go on and do it but just don't get caught

I got 'em all in the jailhouse

Ain't livin' long like this

I ain't livin' long like this

I ain't livin' long like this

Ain't livin' long like this

Ain't livin' long like this, am I baby?
