Bartender's Blues - George Jones

作词：John Taylor

作曲：John Taylor

Well I'm just a bartender

And I don't like my work

But I don't mind the money at all

I've seen 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

And I can pack up and mail in my keys

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

Of this honky tonk bar

And I'm thinkin' bout where I'd rather be

But I burned all my bridges

And I sunk all my ships

And I'm standing at the edge of the sea

I still 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
