Bartender's Blues - George Jones
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 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 Go and gas up my old car I can pack up, oh Lord, and mail in the key 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 I'm thinking 'bout where I'd rather be But I burned all my bridges and I sank all ships Now I'm stranded at the edge of the sea I still 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
