Andy Griggs Ain't Livin' Long Like This
(Rodney Crowell)
I looked for trouble and found it son
Straight down the barrel of a lawman's gun
I'd try to run but I don't think I can
If I move I'm a dead man
Ain't livin' long like this
I can't live at all like this can I baby
He slipped the cuffs on behind my back
Then left me freezing on a steel rail rack
They got ¡®em all in the jailhouse don't they baby
I ain't livin' long like this
Can't live at all like this can I baby
Grew up in Houston off a wayside drive
Son of a carhop in an all-night dive
He drove a stock car to an early death
All I remember is a drunk man's breath
Ain't livin' long like this
I can't live at all like this can I baby
We know the story how the wheel goes ¡®round
Don't let ¡®em take you to the man downtown
I can't sleep at all in the jailhouse can I baby
Ain't livin' long like this
I can't live at all like this can I baby
I live for Angel she's the roadhouse queen
Make Texas Ruby look like Sandra Dee
I want to love her but I don't know how
I'm at the bottom of the jailhouse now
Ain't livin' long like this
I can't live at all like this can I baby
You know the story ¡®bout the jailhouse rock
Go on and do it just don't get caught
They got ¡®em all in the jailhouse don't they baby
Ain't livin' long like this
I can't live at all like this can I baby
Ain't livin' long like this
I swear I can't live at all like this can I baby
Oh baby
Take it home for me
Ain't livin' long like this am I baby
