A
I look for trouble and I found it, son, Straight down the barrel of a lawman's gun.
A
I tried to run but I don't think I can, You make one move and you're a dead man friend!
D A E7 A
Ain't living long like this; 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
D A A E7 A
Ain't living long like this; Can't live at all like this, can I, baby?
A E7 A
Can't live at all like this, can I, baby?
 
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 A A E7 A
Ain't living long like this; 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
D A A E7 A
Ain't living long like this; Can't live at all like this, can I, baby?
A E7 A
Can't live at all like this, can I, baby?

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 A A E7 A
Ain't living long like this; 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.
D A A E7 A
Ain't living long like this; Can't live at all like this, can I, baby?
