Lyrics:
V1:
There’s a guy
Named Shotgun Willy
Sittin at the end of the bar
Said he did ten years
When he was up in Philly
Nobody knows what he’s in here for
Sittin next to him
Is Menthol Shirley
She’s smokin like a freight train bound for hell
Loves the Big House Band
She’s a full-time groupie
And when they play Freebird you oughta hear her yell
[Chorus]
Well that’s life behind bars
They come from near and far
To tell their jokes, bum their smokes, n’ hear steel guitars
Different faces, different names
But the story stays the same
They’re doin’ time, livin’ life behind bars
V2:
Slingin the drinks
Well, that’s ol’ Dixon
The best bartender this county’s ever seen
He’ll pour em strong
As long as you tip him
But he’ll cut you off if you start gettin’ mean
[Chorus]
Br:
When it’s time to go, they don’t wanna leave
Might sound crazy, but it’s the only place they’re free
[Chorus]
TAG:
They’re doin fine, doin time, livin life behind bars
