    Such an under-rated song by Rodney Crowell - one of the top 5 or 10 best r&r songs ever written, IMHO. And this version is the best I've ever heard. Jedd Hughes is a monster guitarist and steel player Steve Fishell... Damn, they're both CRAZY F-ing GREAT!

      No.. it is not. It is a Rodney Crowell song that he lived. That He wrote . Then recorded and put it on his first solo record after spending several years in Emmylou's Hot Band. The only thing Waylon did was make Rodney a whole lotta' money by recording Rodney's song.

    Hey, is that Mark Cuban on keyboards?! LOL I've always had the opinion that a lot of "country" players just didn't "let it out", so to speak. I figured that a lot of those players spent so much time as backing guys in the studio, that they just didn't want to "show up" the main event person. Not so here! I've been listening to Crowell and Emmy Lou since their Hot Band days, still great!

    Lyrics:
    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
    Ain't living long like this
    Can't live at all like this, can i baby?
    He slipped the handcuffs on behind my back
    And left me reeling on a steel reel 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?
    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
    Ain't living long like this
    Can't live at all like this, can i baby?
    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?
    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
    Ain't living long like this
    Can't live at all like this, can i baby?
    You know the story about the jailhouse rock
    Don't want to do it but just don't get caught
    They got'em all in the jailhouse baby
    Ain't living long like this
    Can't live at all like this, can i baby?
