(w/George Jones)

(James Taylor)



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
