Lyrics

BEHIND BARS
(Warren Boutros,Lee Kweller)

CHORUS 1:
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


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


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 1

BRIDGE:
Whoa
They're Entertainers, bouncers, counselors, 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 !

BREAK

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 flowin'
And the good times going on and on and on

CHORUS 1
My best friends are behind bars (3x)
