Lyrics
BEHIND BARS
Kweller (BMI)/ Boutros (ASCAP)
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
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
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
Yeah he's breaking 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
{CHORUS}
Well they're entertainers, bouncers, counselors, shrinks
You can talk to them about any damn thing
They know all about life, and it's all right
So set 'em up Joe... Away we go!
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}
Ac LEE KWELLER & WARREN BOUTROS
