I looked for trouble and I found it son Straight
down the barrel of a lawman's gun
I’d try to run but I don't think I can make one move
and you're dead man, friend
G Gsus
I ain't living long like this
G Gsus D
I can't live at all like this, can I baby
A
He slipped the handcuffs on behind my back
Then left me freezing on a steel rail track
G Gsus
They got 'em all in the jailhouse,
G Gsus D
I ain't living long like this

Grew up in Houston off of Wayside drive
Son of a car hop in some all night dive
Dad drove a stock car to an early death
All I remember was a drunk man's breath
G Gsus
I ain't living long like this
G Gsus D
I can't live at all like this can I baby
A
Y’all know the story how the wheel goes round
Don't let 'em take you to the man downtown
G Gsus
They got ‘em all in the jailhouse, baby
G Gsus D
I ain't living long like this
I can't live at all like this, can I baby
G Gsus G Gsus A G Gsus G Gsus D

I live for angel, she's a roadhouse queen
Make Texas ruby look like Sandra Dee
I want to love her but I don't know how
Down on the bottom of the jailhouse now
G Gsus
I ain't living long like this
G Gsus D
I can't live at all like this, can I baby
A
You know the story 'bout the jailhouse rock
Go on and do it, but just don't get caught
G Gsus
They got 'em all in the jailhouse,
G Gsus D
I ain't living long like this
I can't live at all like this, can I baby
