Lyrics
Behind Bars
(Boutros, Kweller)
CHORUS:
My best friends are behind bars
They know a thing or two about good times
They pour drinks all night like superstars
[CHORUS 2: Theyll cheer you up if you got a heavy heart]
My best friends are behind bars
VERSE 1:
Theres two-steppin Rosie
Puts your mind at ease
She learned her moves in the Florida Keys
Shell mix a margarita with her magic hands
Then shell chase away your blues with a dance, cause
(CHORUS 2)
VERSE 2:
Well Johnny Bs as tough as a two-dollar steak
Yeah, hes breaking up brawls when hes on break
Hell share a laugh, tell a story bout casting a line
Before you know it, youll be having a damn good time, cause
(CHORUS)
BRIDGE:
Whoa, theyre entertainers, bouncers, counselors, and shrinks
You can talk to them about any damn thing
They know all about life, and its alright
So set em up, Joe away we go!
(SHORT SOLO)
VERSE 3:
Well theyll play you some Willie or some rock and roll
If this joint was a jail, Id never go for parole
So heres 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)
