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 Bsd Cases Of
Folks With Their Backs To The Wall

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

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 The Key

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
In This Honky-tonk Bar
And I´m Thinking ´bout
Where I´d Rather Be
But I Burned All My Bridges
I Sank All Ships And
I´m Stranded At The Edge Of The Sea

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
