George Jones — Bartender's Blues lyrics

Lyrics

Now IЂ™m just a bartender
And I donЂ™t like my work
But I donЂ™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 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
Nowthe smoke fills the air
In this honky-tonk bar
And IЂ™m thinking Ђ™bout where IЂ™d rather be But I burned all my bridges
I sank all my ships
And IЂ™m stranded at the edge of the sea
