I'm just a bartender I don't like my work 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 A honky-tonk angel to hold me tight To keep me from slipping away
I can light up your smokes And I'll laugh at your jokes And I'll watch you fall down on your knees Close down this bar Gas up my car Pack up and mail in my key
I need four walls around me to hold my life To keep me from going a-stray A honky-tonk angel to hold me tight To keep me from slipping away
The smoke fills the air In this honky-tonk bar And I'm thinking about where I'd rather be Yeah But I sunk all my bridges I burned all my boats I'm stranded at the edge of the sea Yeah
I need four walls around me to hold my life To keep me from going astray A honky-tonk angel to hold me tight To keep me from slipping away
I need four walls around me to hold my life To keep me from going astray A honky-tonk angel to hold me tight To keep me from slipping away
