Bartender's Blues Lyrics - Indigo Girls

I'm just a bartender 

I don't like my work 

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 

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 

I can light up your smokes 

And I'll laugh at your jokes 

And I'll watch you fall down on your knees 

Close down this bar 

Gas up my car 

Pack up and mail in my key

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 

The smoke fills the air 

In this honky-tonk bar 

And I'm thinking about where I'd rather be 

Yeah 

But I sunk all my bridges 

I burned all my boats 

I'm stranded at the edge of the sea 

Yeah 

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

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
