George Jones - Bartender's Blues (v1) lyrics

Well, I'm just a bartender and 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 Chorus: But I got 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 Well, 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, oh, and gas up my car And I can pack up and mail in my keys Chorus: But I got 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 thinkin' bout where I'd rather be But I burned all my bridges and I sunk all my ships And I'm stranded at the edge of the sea Chorus: But I got 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...
