Emmylou Harris – I Ain't Living Long Like This Lyrics  Share

From Emmylou Harris's album: Quarter Moon In A Ten Cent Town

(Rodney Crowell)

You looked for trouble and you found it son
Straight down the barrel of a lawman^,s gun
You^,d try to run but you don^,t think you can
You make one move and you^,re dead man, friend
I ain^,t living long like this
I can^,t live at all like this, can I baby
He slipped the handcuffs on behind my back
Then he left me freezing on a steel rail track
They got ^,em all in the jailhouse, ain^,t they bay
I ain^,t living long like this
grew up in Houston off of Wayside drive
Son of a charhop in some all night dive
Dad drove a stock car to an early death
All I remember was a drunk man^,s death
I ain^,t living long like this
I can^,t live at all like this can I baby
[ I Ain't Living Long Like This lyrics from

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
I ain^,t living long like this
You live for angel, she^,s a roadhouse queen
Make Texas ruby look like Sandra Dee
You want to love her but you don^,t know how
You^,re at the bottom of the jailhouse now
I ain^,t living long like this
I can^,t live at all like this, can I baby

You know the story ^,bout the jailhouse rock
Go on and do it, but just don^,t get caught
They got ^,em all in the jailhouse, ain^,t they baby
I ain^,t living long like this
