|
Now 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 bad cases |
|
Of folks with their backs to the wall |
|
Chorus: |
|
But i need four walls around me to hold my life |
|
To keep me from going a-stray |
|
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 key |
|
Chorus: |
|
Now, the smoke fills the air |
|
In this honky-tonk bar |
|
And i'm thinking 'bout where i'd rather be |
|
But i burned all my bridges |
|
I sank all my ships |
|
And i'm stranded at the edge of the sea |
|
Chorus: |
