Bartender`s blues lyrics

Artist  : Indigo girls 
Song : Bartender`s blues
 

i`m just a bartender
i don`t like my work
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

i need four walls around me to hold my life
to keep me from going astray
a honky-tonk angel to hold me tight
to keep me from slipping away

i can light up your smokes
and i`ll laugh at your jokes
and i`ll watch you fall down on your knees
close down this bar
gas up my car
pack up and mail in my key

i need four walls around me to hold my life
to keep me from going a-stray
a honky-tonk angel to hold me tight
to keep me from slipping away

the smoke fills the air
in this honky-tonk bar
and i`m thinking about where i`d rather be
yeah
but i sunk all my bridges
i burned all my boats
i`m stranded at the edge of the sea
yeah

i need four walls around me to hold my life
to keep me from going astray
a honky-tonk angel to hold me tight
to keep me from slipping away

i need four walls around me to hold my life
to keep me from going astray
a honky-tonk angel to hold me tight
to keep me from slipping away
