Bartender Blues

(W/B : George Jones/ James Taylor)

Ary Leo Music Entertainer >

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

Refrain;

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 the key

Repeat Refrain…..

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 ships
And I’m stranded at the edge of the sea

Repeat Refrain…..
