I Ain’t Living Long Like This Waylon Jennings

[Verse 1]
I looked for trouble and I found it, son
Straight down the barrel of a lawman's gun
I tried to run but I don't think I can
"You make one move and you're a dead man, friend"
Ain't living long like this
Can't live at all like this, can I baby?

[Verse 2]
He slipped the handcuffs on behind my back
Then left me reeling on a steel rail rack
They got 'em all in the jailhouse, baby
Ain't living long like this
Can't live at all like this, can I baby?

[Verse 3]
Grew up in Houston off of Wayside Drive
Son of a carhop at some all night dive
Dad drove a stock car to an early death
All I remember was a drunk man's breath
Ain't living long like this
Can't live at all like this, can I baby?

[Verse 4]
You know the story how the wheel goes 'round
Don't let them take you to the man downtown
Can't sleep at all in a jailhouse, baby
Ain't living long like this
Can't live at all like this, can I baby?
