| Lyrics |
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:
