Lyrics

[Intro]
Most my friends are behind bars
They're servin' time so I can get long gone, yeah
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
Well, I said 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
[Chorus]
Most my friends are behind bars (My friends)
They're servin' time so I can get long gone (I can get long gone)
Most my friends are behind bars
I'll break 'em out and pour 'em up real strong
[Outro]
Most my friends are behind bars (My friends)
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
