Emmylou Harris - I Ain't Living Long Like This Lyrics
You looked for trouble and you found it son
Straight down the barrel of a lawman's gun
You'd try to run but you don't think you can
You make one move and you're dead man, friend
I ain't living long like this
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, ain't they bay
I ain't living long like this
grew up in Houston off of Wayside drive
Son of a charhop in some all night dive
Dad drove a stock car to an early death
All I remember was a drunk man's death
I ain't living 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
Can't sleep at all in the jailhouse, baby
I ain't living long like this
You live for angel, she's a roadhouse queen
Make Texas ruby look like Sandra Dee
You want to love her but you don't know how
You're at the bottom of the jailhouse now
I ain't living long like this
You know the story 'bout the jailhouse rock
Go on and do it, but just don't get caught
They got 'em all in the jailhouse, ain't they baby
I ain't living long like this

Emmylou Harris I Ain't Living Long Like This Comments
Waylon does it 10 times better ...& he wrote it . . . R.I.P. Waylon . . .
I do like Waylon's version the best. Waylon did not write this song. Rodney Crowell. did.
@pecvillian>> OK ..
Gta v my favourite song
I'm looking for the PBS show Soundstage version of this sometimes I can find it this time I couldn't .Any hints for a old duffer me and computers aren't overly friendly at times!!
Nope. I could not find it either.
Waylon must be smiling now.R. I. P. good man.
the legendary emmylou and never forgotten Waylon

Great video, Ron. Great RC song. It sounds more authentic when Rodney or Waylon sings it, but any tune Emmy sings sounds good.
