from the songs album Thinkin' About You
(w/george jones)
(james taylor)
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 bsd 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 the key
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
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
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
