Bartender S Blues lyrics

(James Taylor)
Trisha Yearwood & George Jones

Now I`m just a bartender, I don`t like my work
But I don`t mind the money at all
I`ve seen 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 car
Hon 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.

Now the smoke fills the air of this honky tonk bar
And I`m thinking bout where I`d rather be
But I burned all my bridges and I sunk all my 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...
