BARTENDER'S BLUES

 

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  

 

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 my key  

 

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
