Song Lyrics

Now 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 bad cases
Of folks with their backs to the wall

Chorus:
But I need four walls around me to hold my life
To keep me from going a-stray
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 my key

Chorus:

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 my ships
And I`m stranded at the edge of the sea

Chorus:
