Life Behind Bars Lyrics

Any given night you can see headlights
Keeping last call alive when the bars closed down
Can't stay here so we take it outside
Trading neon sign for the moon coming out

In the parking lot, on the stereo
Somebody's cranking up a little country gold
Pouring something strong in a double cup
Till the sun comes up

There's always a rowdy bunch of boys in a Chevrolet
Talkin' bunch of noise, some tough guy looking for a fighter
Some lonely girl looking for a lighter
Somebody's throwing fire on a 'round-here rumor
Cops wishing they'da got here sooner
Breaking up, making up, taking shots in the dark
Small town nights doing life behind bars

Any old hole in the wall's got a dive outside
Anywhere this side of the track
Cover to get in is bring all your friends
There's help yourself beers, but bring your own Jack
It's a story in the morning
Right outside when they shut them doors

There's always a rowdy bunch of boys in a Chevrolet
Talkin' bunch of noise, some tough guy looking for a fighter
Some lonely girl looking for a lighter
Somebody's throwing fire on a 'round-here rumor
Cops wishing they'da got here sooner
Breaking up, making up, taking shots in the dark
Small town nights doing life behind bars
Small town nights doing life behind bars

In the parking lot, on the stereo
Somebody's cranking up a little country gold
Pouring something strong in a double cup
Yeah, where I was raised up

There's always a rowdy bunch of boys in a Chevrolet
Talkin' bunch of noise, some tough guy looking for a fighter
Some lonely girl looking for a lighter
Somebody's throwing fire on a 'round-here rumor
Cops wishing they'da got here sooner
Breaking up, making up, taking shots in the dark
Small town nights doing life behind bars

Small town nights doing life behind bars
Small town nights doing life behind bars
