[Intro] Em G Most of my friends are behind bars Am They're servin' time so Em I can get long gone, yeah [Verse] Em Jack's got a rap sheet G a country mile long Am We're thick as thieves, but he'll leave me Em Still drunk wakin' up on the neighbor's lawn Em Jose's got a death wish, G we've had some crazy nights Am But he's been with me since about '03 Em You could say we're doin' life [Chorus] Em G Most of my friends are behind bars Am They're servin' time so Em I can get long gone Em G Most of my friends are behind bars Am I'll break 'em out and pour Em 'em up real strong [Verse] Em I fell out with Jim Beam, G but I still see him around Am But I wish him well, But can't take the heck that Em he put me through downtown Em G Sometimes an old boy's gotta know when crap ain't for ya Am Well every time I drinkit might be me Em versus the state of Georgia [Chorus] Em G Most of my friends are behind bars Am They're servin' time so Em I can get long gone Em G Most of my friends are behind bars Am I'll break 'em out and pour Em 'em up real strong [Instrumental] Em G Am Em [Break] Em Well, I said Jacks's locked up in G Lynchburg and Jose's on parole down south Am Jim's on the run for shootin' someone and Em is hidin' out down in Parkside [Chorus] Em G Most of my friends are behind bars Am They're servin' time so Em I can get long gone Em G Most of my friends are behind bars Am I'll break 'em out and pour Em 'em up real strong [Outro] Em G Most of my friends are behind bars Am They're servin' time so Em I can get long gone Em G Most of my friends are behind bars Am I'll break 'em out and pour Em 'em up real strong
