Philosophers and poets And songwriters, too Have told stories through the ages About what friends can do to you Their envy and betrayal Can drive a man to drink It can land a man in jail And that is why I think All my best friends are behind bars Sometimes, we take things a bit too far I dont mean theyre bad men Please dont take it wrong when I say All my best friends are behind bars Ive spent the better part of my adult life Fightin with best friends and arguin with wives And tryin to convince some judge Im just misunderstood Then a bartender showed me the secret to life Was a smooth sippin whiskey and a handful of ice Since then, its been downhill lifes been good Thats why all my best friends are behind bars Sometimes, we take things a bit too far But most of them are top shelf Which makes me a little higher my own self and thats why All my best friends are behind bars Jim and Jack, help me through hard times Jose and I, we party till sunrise Johnny Walker helps me walk the line Thats why all my best friends are behind bars Sometimes, we take things a bit too far But most of them are top shelf Which makes me a little higher my own self and thats why All my best friends are behind bars I dont mean theyre bad men Please dont take it wrong when I say all my best friends are behind bars
