Jelly Roll - Behind Bars Lyrics

Most of 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 of my friends are behind bars
They're servin' time so I can get long gone
Most of 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
Well, I wish him well but 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 of my friends are behind bars
They're servin' time so I can get long gone
Most of 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 of my friends are behind bars (my friends)
They're servin' time so I can get long gone (can get long gone)
Most of my friends are behind bars
I'll break 'em out and pour 'em up real strong

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