Bartender's Blues
Well I'm just a bartender
I don't like my work
But I don't mind the money at all.
See lots of bad cases
And lots of sad faces
And folks with their backs to the wall.
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
Well smoke fills the air
In this honky tonk bar
And i'm thinking about where I'd rather be
well I burned all my bridges
I sank all my ships
And I'm stranded at the edge of the sea.
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 my keys.
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.
To keep me from slipping away.
I don't like my work
But I don't mind the money at all.
See lots of bad cases
And lots of sad faces
And folks with their backs to the wall.
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
Well smoke fills the air
In this honky tonk bar
And i'm thinking about where I'd rather be
well I burned all my bridges
I sank all my ships
And I'm stranded at the edge of the sea.
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 my keys.
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.
To keep me from slipping away.
