Lyrics
BEHIND BARS
(Boutros, Lee Kweller)
CHORUS:
My best friends are behind bars
They know a thing or two about good times
They pour drinks all night like superstars
My best friends are behind bars
V1:
There's two steppin' Rosie
Puts your mind at ease
She learned her moves in the Florida Keys
She'll mix a Margarita with her magic hands
Then she'll chase away your blues with a dance , cause
CHORUS 2:
My best friends are behind bars
They know a thing or two about good times
They’ll cheer you up if you got a heavy heart
My best friends are behind bars
V2:
Well Johnny B's as tough as a two dollar steak
Yea he's breaking up brawls when he's on break
He'll share a laugh, tell a story 'bout casting a line
Before you know it you'll be having a damn good time , cause
(CHORUS)
BRIDGE:
Whoa they're Entertainers, bouncers, counselors, and shrinks
You can talk to them about any damn thing
They know all about life, and it's alright
So set 'em up Joe , away we go !
(SHORT SOLO)
V3:
Well they'll play you some Willie or some rock and roll
If this joint was a jail I'd never go for parole
So here's a toast to the ones that keep the spirits rolling
And the good times going on and on and on, cause
(CHORUS)
My best friends are behind bars (3x)
