Bartender's Blues (Album Version) - Bonnie Raitt
Now I'm just a bartender
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
But I need four walls around me to hold my life
To keep me from going astray
And a honky tonky angel to hold me tight
To keep me from slipping away
I can light up your smokes
I'll can laugh at your jokes
I'll can watch you fall down on your knees
I can close down this bar
I can as up my car
I can pack up and mail in my key
But 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
And I have the smoke fills the air
In this honky tonk bar
And I'm thinking about where I'd rather be
But I burned all my bridges
I sunk all my sheed
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
A honky tonk angel to hold me tight
To keep me from slipping away
