Life Behind Bars Lyrics

I didn't shoot a man in Reno but I'm still doin' time

The only thing I'm guilty of is pouring heavy and cuttin' limes

Asking strangers whatchu in here for different answer every night

Me I make songs because I have to and drinks to keep on the lights

12 hour shift in a 3 chord town

Too far in to turn back now

Writing lyrics on a napkin before I pour another round

Chasing dreams on tips and $213 ain't gonna lie it's hard

What if I just end up spending my life behind bars

Well my friends are buying houses and I'm selling cheap old fashioneds

Waiting tables waiting years on something that may never happen

Another day another late night and a song no one will hear

But there's comfort in the fact that that's what everyone's doing here

12 hour shift in a 3 chord town

Too far in to turn back now

Writing lyrics on a napkin before I pour another round

Chasing dreams on tips and $213 ain't gonna lie it's hard

What if I just end up spending my life behind bars

But I know I'm never leaving

'Cause somehow I still believe in

Taking shots cause overtime

Big things can come from little dives

12 hour shift in a 3 chord town

Just one song could turn it all around

So I'm writing lyrics on a napkin before I pour another round

Chasing dreams on tips and $213 ain't gonna lie it's hard

What if I just end up spending my life behind bars

No I don't think I'll end up spending my life behind bars
