I stood behing that bar till closing time
I served cold beer, warm whiskey, and Rotgut Wine
Now I`m up here on the stage
Everybody knows my name
And I can`t believe how long they wait
In my autograph line
[Chorus]
Not bad for a bartender or an eighth grade education
pretty good for a backwoods girl
who had to make it on her own
I`m on the stool side of the bar these days
Buying everyone a round
Ain`t it funny how the tables turn
Not bad for a bartender
Swingin` doors and cleanin` floors is all I`d ever known
Out of nowhere somehow i gound my yello brick road
So when you`re broke and paying dues
Look at me I`m living proof
And if there`s hope for me
Know there`s hope for you.
[Repeat Chorus]
I`m on the stool side of the bars these days
Buying everyone a round
Ain`t it funny how the tables turn
Not bad for a bartender
Ain`t it funny how the tables turn
Not bad for a bartender
