AI looked for trouble and I found it son

Straight down the barrel of a lawman's gun
AI tried to run but I don't think I can

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

Ain't living Dlong like this
Can't live at Aall like this, can I baby
E He slipped the handcuffs on behind my back

left me reeling on a steel rail rack
They got 'em Dall in the jailhouse baby
Ain't living Along like this

Can't live at all like this, can I baby

AGrew up in Houston off the wayside drive

Son of a carhop in some all night dive
ADad drove a stock car to an early death

All I remember was a drunk man's breath

Ain't living Dlong like this
Can't live at Aall like this, can I baby
E We know the story how the wheel goes 'round

Don't let them take you to the man downtown
Can't sleep atD all in the jailhouse baby
Ain't living Along like this

Can't live at all like this, can I baby

AI live with Angel, she's a roadhouse queen

Makes Texas Ruby look like Sandra Dee
AI want to love her but I don't know how

I'm at the bottom of the jailhouse now

Ain't living Dlong like this
Can't live at Aall like this, can I baby
E You know the story about the jailhouse rock

Go on and do it but just don't get caught
They got 'em Dall in the jailhouse baby
Ain't living Along like this

Can't live at all like this, can I baby
