LIFE BEHIND BARS

DERYL DODD/BRETT BEAVERS


I’ve been here most all my life
Doin’ time behind these bars
I must’ve walked a thousand miles cross this floor
But no one can ever say that I never made my mark
‘Cause when the lights go out tonight I’ll make one more

Chorus: I’ve seen faces come and go many lost and lonely souls
And the stories I could tell you would break your heart
Lord I guess I’ve seen it all here, inside these cold dark walls
While living out my life behind bars

People come from all around and they sit down at my bar
‘Cause Ii serve every kind of whiskey, wine and beer
And each night at closing time, I count the money in my jeans
And it’s always just enough to keep me here


Chorus: I’ve seen faces come and go many lost and lonely souls
And the stories I could tell you would break your heart
Lord I guess I’ve seen it all here, inside these cold dark walls
While living out my life behind bars

Tag: I’m just living’ out my life behind bars
