Doin' Time Lyrics

I guess you could say my problems began
The day she walked out my door.
She said "We're through, and I got someone new.
I don't need you any more."

I think of a time way back when
She thought I hung the stars.
But now all thanks to that woman of mine,
I'm doin' time behind bars.

At first I was a little bit nervous
'Cause I've heard a story or two.
But they welcomed me in, I made a lot of new friends,
Ones with scars and tattoos.

And I'd sure love to get out of this place,
But I'd never make it too far.
So year after year, I sit right here,
Doin' time behind bars.

So bartender pour a shot of whiskey.
I like mine on the rocks.
I keep knockin' them down, so pour another round.
And fire up that old jukebox.

And sing a song about a faded love
For all of us who ever had a broken heart.
I raise my glass in toast to my kind of folks
That are doin' time behind bars.

Well they won't let me out 'til I pay my debts.
And I've barely got the money for cigarettes.
Oh, she ain't comin' back and that's for sure.
So come on over here, and bartender pour

Another shot of whiskey.
I like mine on the rocks.
I keep knockin' them down, go on and pour the house another round.
And fire up that old jukebox.

And sing a song about a faded love
For all of us who ever had a broken heart.
I raise my glass in toast to my kind of folks
For doin' time behind bars.

Yeah, the party never ends,
I'm here with all my friends
Doin' time behind bars.
