Version 3[Intro] D G A [Verse 1] A I looked for trouble and I found it son A Straight down the barrel of a lawman's gun A I tried to run but I don't think I can E A You make one move and you're a dead man friend [Chorus] D Ain't living long like this A Can't live at all like this, can I baby D E He slipped the handcuffs on behind my back E left me reeling on a steel rail rack D D/F# D/G They got 'em all in the jailhouse baby A Ain't living long like this A Can't live at all like this, can I baby [Verse 2] A Grew up in Houston off the wayside drive A Son of a carhop in some all night dive A Dad drove a stock car to an early death A All I remember was a drunk man's breath [Chorus] D Ain't living long like this A Can't live at all like this, can I baby E We know the story how the wheel goes 'round E Don't let them take you to the man downtown D D/F# D/G Can't sleep at all in the jailhouse baby A Ain't living long like this E A Can't live at all like this, can I baby [Solo] D A D G A E D E D A F#m G A [Verse 3] A A/G I live with Angel, she's a roadhouse queen A Makes Texas Ruby look like Sandra Dee A I want to love her but I don't know how A I'm at the bottom of the jailhouse now [Chorus] D Ain't living long like this A Can't live at all 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 D They got 'em all in the jailhouse baby A Ain't living long like this Can't live at all like this, can I baby [Outro] D A D A D A
