[Intro]
Em                             G
Most of my friends are behind bars
         Am                             Em
They're servin' time so I can get long gone, yeah
 
 
[Verse]
 Em                       G
Jack's got a rap sheet 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                             G
Jose's got a death wish, 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                             Em
They're servin' time so I can get long gone
 
 Em                            G
Most of my friends are behind bars
      Am                                 Em
I'll break 'em out and pour 'em up real strong
 
 
[Verse]
Em                               G
I fell out with Jim Beam, but I still see him around
       Am
But I wish him well,
                                Em
But can't take the hell that he put me through downtown
 
 Em                           G
Sometimes an old boy's gotta know when shit ain't for ya
            Am                         Em
Well every time I drinkit might be me versus the state of Georgia
 
 
[Chorus]
 Em                            G
Most of my friends are behind bars
         Am                             Em
They're servin' time so I can get long gone
 
 Em                            G
Most of my friends are behind bars
      Am                                 Em
I'll break 'em out and pour 'em up real strong

     (Am)                                    (Em)
Jim's on the run for shootin' someone and is hidin' out down in Parkside

 Em                            G
