"Between the Bars" is the fourth track of Elliott Smith's 1997 album Either/Or. It is written as a short ballad in the key of G Minor.[1] Possibly Smith's most popular song, it is one of three tracks from Either/Or that was used in the soundtrack of Good Will Hunting (1997). It is also featured in the 2012 indie film, Stuck in Love, and in the seventh episode of season two of Rick and Morty. A cover version of the song performed by Chris Garneau was used in Pedro Almodovar's film La piel que habito (The skin I live in) in 2012.

Smith performed the song very often, and it was the 13th song of his final performance at Redfest in Salt Lake City, Utah on September 19, 2003.[2]
