Bartender Blues

Bartender Blues I'm just a bartender And I don't like my work But I don't mind the money at all I see lots of sad faces And lots of bsd cases of Folks with their backs to the wall But I need four walls around me To hold my life To keep me from going astray And a honky-tonk angel To hold me tight To keep me from slipping away I can light up your smokes I can laugh at your jokes I can watch you fall down on your knees I can close down this bar I can gas up my car I can pack up and mail in the key But I need four walls around me To hold my life To keep me from going astray And a honky-tonk angel To hold me tight To keep me from slipping away Now the smoke fills the air In this honky-tonk bar And Iim thinking 'bout Where I'd rather be But I burned all my bridges I sank all ships and I'm stranded at the edge of the sea But I need four walls around me To hold my life To keep me from going astray And a honky-tonk angel To hold me tight To keep me from slipping away
