Bartender's Blues Lyrics - Cold Hard Truth/live With The Possum - George Jones

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 got 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

Well 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 

Oh and gas up my car 

And I can pack up and mail in my keys 

But I got 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 stranded at the edge of the sea

But I got 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...
