i aint living — текст песни (jennings waylon)

************** I AIN`T LIVING LONG LIKE THIS *************

written by Rodney Crowell

performed by Waylon Jennings.


Verse 1:
D A
I look 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
D
Ain`t living long like this
A
Can`t live at all like this,can i baby?
E
He slipped the handcuffs on behind my back

And left me reeling on a steel reel rack
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?


Verse 2:
A
Grew up in Houston off the wayside drives

Son of a carhop and some all night dives

Dad drove a stock car to an early death

All i remember was a drunk man`s breath
D
Ain`t living long like this
A
Can`t live at all like this,can i baby?
E
You know the story how the wheel goes `round

Don`t let them take you to the man down town
D
Can`t sleep at all in a jailhouse baby
A
Ain`t living long like this

Can`t live at all like this,can i baby?


Verse 3:
A
I live with Angel she`s a roadhouse queen

Makes Texas Ruby look like Sandra Dee

I want to love her but i don`t know how

I`m at the bottom in the jailhouse now
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

Don`t want to 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?
