mmylou Harris - I Ain't Living Long Like This

(verse 1)

C

You looked for trouble and you found it son,

Straight down the barrel of a lawman's gun,

C

You tried to run but I don't think you can,

C

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

(chorus)

F

Ain't living long like this,

C

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

G

He slipped the handcuffs on behind your back,

And left me freezing on a steel rail track,

F

They got'em all in the jailhouse baby,

C

I Ain't living long like this,

(verse 2)

C

Grew up in Houston off the wayside drive,

Son of a carhop in some all night dives,

Dad drove a stock car to an early death,

All I remember was a drunk man's breath,

(chorus)

F

I Ain't living long like this,

C

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

G

You know the story how the wheel goes round,

Don't let them take you to the man downtown,

F

They got ie all in the jailhouse baby,

C

Ain't living long like this,

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

(lead chords - - F - C - F - C - F - C)

(bridge)

C

You live with Angel she's a roadhouse queen,

C

Makes Texas Ruby look like Sandra Dee,

C

You want to love her but you don't know how,

Your at the bottom in the jailhouse now,

(chorus)

F

Ain't living long like this,

C

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

G

You know the story about the jailhouse rock,

Go on and do it but just don't get caught,

F

Can't sleep at all in the jailhouse baby,

C

Ain't living long like this,

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

Ain't living long like this,
