Ain't Living Long Like This chords by Waylon Jennings

G
I look for trouble and I found it son


Straight down the barrel of a lawman's gun


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


You make one move and you're a dead man friend

             C
Ain't living long like this

              G              D7    G
Can't live at all like this  can I baby

   D7
He slipped the handcuffs on behind my back


And left me reeling on a steel reel rack

            C
They got'em all in the jailhouse baby

             G
Ain't living long like this

                             D7    G
Can't live at all like this  can I baby



Grew up in Houston off the wayside drives


Son of a carhop and some all night dives


Dad drove a stock car to an early death


All I remember was a drunk man's breath

             C
Ain't living long like this

              G              D7    G
Can't live at all like this  can I baby


    D7
You know the story how the wheel goes 'round


Don't let them take you to the man down town

               C
Can't sleep at all in a jailhouse baby

             G
Ain't living long like this

                             D7    G
Can't live at all like this  can I baby



I live with Angel she's a roadhouse queen


Makes Texas Ruby look like Sandra Dee


I want to love her but I don't know how


I'm at the bottom in the jailhouse now

      C
Ain't living long like this

              G              D7    G
Can't live at all like this  can I baby


    D7
You know the story about the jailhouse rock


Don't want to do it but just don't get caught

            C
They got'em all in the jailhouse baby

             G
Ain't living long like this

                             D7    G
