Between the Bars Lyrics by The Roustabouts

Little Brother

2016

[Verse 1: Paul Haapaniemi]
Midnight on these streets
It comes in waves
And all them strumming clowns come down
Like it's some damn parade
I said hey Jim, oh hey Joe
Some other picker I know
We'll take another shot
At this ten pen rodeo
[Chorus: Ally Cool and Paul Haapaniemi]
Still hitting them high notes
Living on the low end
Sitting with some old friends
And a steel guitar
Chasing some new life
Outta them shadows
Find out where it all goes
In between the bars
[Verse 2: Ally Cool, Paul Haapaniemi, Both]
For the price of just one beer
You can sit and listen
But the cost gets steepеr
Once you start to play
Another year is gonе and you've been covered once or twice
Mostly you just think about
The ones that got away
[Chorus: Ally Cool and Paul Haapaniemi]
Still hitting them high notes
Living on the low end
Sitting with some old friends
And a steel guitar
Chasing some new life
Outta them shadows
Find out where it all goes
In between the bars
[Verse 3: Ally Cool and Paul Haapaniemi]
Oh and in that little pocket
Before the next night's set
We drank a few
And when we're through
We know we ain't done yet
There's one more round
In this rounders town
[Bridge: Paul Haapaniemi]
Well I hope you have a good one
You pack 'em in tonight
I hope the waitress has a heart
And the barman treats you right
I hope they like the new one
And that they hang on every note
Cause in this town you're only as good
As the last one that you wrote
[Chorus: Ally Cool and Paul Haapaniemi]
Still hitting them high notes
Living on the low end
Sitting with some old friends
And a steel guitar
Chasing some new life
Outta them shadows
Find out where it all goes
In between the bars
[Outro: Paul Haapaniemi, Ally Cool, Both]
I'll be sleeping up on rooftops
In between the bars
I'm gonna call Paul Rodgers
In between the bars
Gonna plant a little garden
In between the bars
I'm gonna figure my life out
In between the bars
