Life Behind Bars
He said what's your name first timer? Everybody here just calls me joe
Yeah and I've been here 33 long years, seen a lot of faces come and go
Been a crutch, been a priest, a punching bag,
a referee, anything you gotta be to play the part
That's just life behind bars
Crackin' jokes and crackin' beers
Knowin' who and who ain't here
When it's last call and the wife
calls, just say "Nah girl I ain't seen him"
Out of tune cover bands, Sweet Home Alabam'
And all this damn second hand, man
It's a wonder I'm still breathin'
Doin' what you gotta do to fill that jar
That's just life behind bars
I said that gold band in your pocket
You best put it right back on your hand
'Cause that family I seen in your wallet
Is worth more than any one night stand
Yeah, that's why I'm here where I am
Crackin' jokes and crackin' beers
Knowin' who and who ain't here
When it's last call and the wife
calls, just say "Nah girl I ain't seen him"
Out of tune cover bands, Sweet Home Alabam'
And all this damn second hand, man
It's a wonder I'm still breathin'
Doin' what you gotta do to fill that jar
That's just life behind bars
That's life behind bars, yeah
Crackin' jokes and crackin' beers
Knowin' who and who ain't here
When it's last call and the wife
calls, just say "Nah girl I ain't seen him"
Out of tune cover bands, 20 minute Free Bird jams
And all this damn second hand, man
It's a wonder I'm still breathin'
Doin' what you gotta do to fill that jar
Yeah man the first night in this joint's the hardest part
That's just life behind bars
He said what's your name first timer?
Everybody here just calls me joe
Yeah and I've been here 33 long years, seen a lot of faces come and go
Been a crutch, been a priest, a punching bag,
a referee, anything you gotta be to play the part
That's just life behind bars
Crackin' jokes and crackin' beers
Knowin' who and who ain't here
When it's last call and the wife
calls, just say "Nah girl I ain't seen him"
Out of tune cover bands, Sweet Home Alabam'
And all this damn second hand, man
It's a wonder I'm still breathin'
Doin' what you gotta do to fill that jar
That's just life behind bars
I said that gold band in your pocket
You best put it right back on your hand
'Cause that family I seen in your wallet
Is worth more than any one night stand
Yeah, that's why I'm here where I am
Crackin' jokes and crackin' beers
Knowin' who and who ain't here
When it's last call and the wife

That's life behind bars, yeah

Doin' what you gotta do to fill that jar
Yeah man the first night in this joint's the hardest part
That's just life behind bars
He said what's your name first timer?
Everybody here just calls me joe
