Lyrics 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
