I Aint Living Long Like This — текст песни (Emmylou Harris)

I aint living long like this



Rodney crowell

You looked for trouble and you found it son

Straight down the barrel of a lawmans gun

Youd try to run but you dont think you can

You make one move and youre dead man, friend



I aint living long like this

I cant 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, aint they baby

I aint living long like this



Grew up in houston off of wayside drive

Son of a car hop in some all night dive

Dad drove a stock car to an early death

All I remember was a drunk mans breath



I aint living long like this

I cant live at all like this can I baby

We know the story how the wheel goes round

Dont let em take you to the man downtown

Cant sleep at all in the jailhouse, baby

I aint living long like this



You live for angel, shes a roadhouse queen

Make texas ruby look like sandra dee

You want to love her but you dont know how

Youre at the bottom of the jailhouse now



I aint living long like this

I cant live at all like this, can I baby

You know the story bout the jailhouse rock

Go on and do it, but just dont get caught

They got em all in the jailhouse, aint they baby

I aint living long like this
