Behind Bars Songtext
von Jelly Roll with Brantley Gilbert & Struggle Jennings

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, but can′t take the hell that he put me through downtown
Sometimes an old boy has gotta know when shit ain't for you
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 hear 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 Bardstown

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
