paroles de chanson I Ain't Living Long Like This - Emmylou Harris

You looked for trouble and you found it, son
Straight down the barrel of a lawman′s gun
You try to run but I don't think you can
You make one move and you′re a dead man friend

Ain't living long like this
Can't live it long like this, can you baby?
He put the handcuffs on behind your back
Left you freezin′ on a steelrail truck
They got ′em all in the jailhouse, baby
Ain't living long like this

Grew up in Houston off of wayside drive
Son of a carhop in some old night dive
Dad drove a stock car to an early death
All you remember was a drunk man′s breath

Ain't living long like this
Can′t live at all like this, can you baby?
You know the story how the wheel go round
Don't let ′em take you to the man downtown
They got 'em all in the jailhouse, baby
Ain't living long like this
Can′t living long like this, can you baby?

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

Ain't living long like this
Can′t live at all like this, can you baby?
You know the story 'bout the jailhouse rock
Go on and do it but just don′t get caught
'Cause they got all in the jailhouse, baby
Ain't living long like this

Can′t living long like this, can you baby?
Ain′t living long like this

Rodney Crowell
And we go way back to beginning of sorts for me
But I like to think of as the beginning
