Ain’t Livin’ Long Like This
By Waylon Jennings


A
I looked for trouble and found it son
A
Straight down the barrel of a lawman’s gun
A
I try to run but I don’t think I can
A
You make one move and you’re a dead man
             D
Ain’t livin’ long like this
A
I can’t live at all like this can I baby
E
He slipped the cuffs on behind my back
E
Then left me freezing on a steel rail rack
         D 
They got ‘em all in the jailhouse baby
             A
Ain’t livin’ long like this
A
Can’t live at all like this, can I baby


Grew up in Houston off a wayside drive
Son of a carhop in some all-night dive
Dad drove a stock car to an early death
All I remember was a drunk man’s breath
Ain’t livin’ long like this
Can’t live at all like this can I baby
We know the story how the wheel goes ‘round
Don’t let ‘em take you to the man downtown
Can’t sleep at all in the jailhouse baby
Ain’t livin’ long like this
Can’t live at all like this, can I baby

Instrumental

I live for Angel, she’s the roadhouse queen
Make Texas Ruby look like Sandra Dee
I want to love her but I don’t know how
I’m at the bottom of the jailhouse now
Ain’t livin’ long like this
Can’t live at all like this, can I baby
You know the story ‘bout the jailhouse rock
Go on and do it just don’t get caught
They got ‘em all in the jailhouse, baby
Ain’t livin’ long like this
I can’t live at all like this, can I baby

Instrumental

Fade out…

A couple lyrical errors, but I have heard Waylon sing variations to the lyrics, so no big deal. Sounds good.
