Behind Bars Songtext
Most my friends are behind bars
They're servin' time so I can get long gone, yeah

Jack's got a rap sheet a country mile long
We're thick as thieves, but he'll leave me still drunk wakin' up on the neighbor's lawn
Jose's got a death wish, we've had some crazy nights
But he's been with me since about '03, you could say we're doin' life

Most my friends are behind bars
They're servin' time so I can get long gone
Most my friends are behind bars
I'll break 'em out and pour 'em up real strong

I fell out with Jim Beam, but I still see him around
But I wish him well, I can't take the hell that he put me through downtown
Sometimes an old boy has gotta know when shit ain't for ya
Well, every time I drink it might be me versus the state of Georgia

Most my friends are behind bars
They're servin' time so I can get long gone
Most my friends are behind bars
I'll break 'em out and pour 'em up real strong

Well, I said Jacks's locked up in Lynchburg and Jose's on parole down south
Jim's on the run for shootin' someone and is hidin' out down in Parkside

Most my friends are behind bars
They're servin' time so I can get long gone
Most my friends are behind bars
I'll break 'em out and pour 'em up real strong
Most my friends are behind bars
They're servin' time so I can get long gone
Most my friends are behind bars
I'll break 'em out and pour 'em up real strong
