[00:00.10]Well I'm just a bartender
[00:05.17]And I don't like my work
[00:09.17]But I don't mind the money at all
[00:17.04]I've seen lots of sad faces
[00:21.94]And lots of bad cases
[00:26.26]Of folks with their backs to the wall
[00:33.90]But I need four walls around me, to hold my life
[00:43.12]To keep me from going astray
[00:50.98]And a honky tonk angel, to hold me tight
[00:59.94]To keep me from slipping away
[01:08.02]I can light up your smokes
[01:12.90]I can laugh at your jokes
[01:16.96]I can watch you fall down on your knees
[01:24.54]I can close down this bar
[01:29.28]I can gas up my car
[01:33.62]And I can pack up and mail in my keys
[01:41.28]But I need four walls around me, to hold my life
[01:50.19]To keep me from going astray
[01:57.94]And a honky tonk angel, to hold me tight
[02:06.98]To keep me from slipping away
[02:15.23]Now the smoke fills the air
[02:35.90]Of this honky tonk bar
[02:40.82]And I'm thinkin' bout where I'd rather be
[02:47.90]But I burned all my bridges
[02:52.70]And I sunk all my ships
[02:56.65]And I'm standing at the edge of the sea
[03:03.98]I still need four walls around me, to hold my life
[03:12.79]To keep me from going astray
[03:21.07]And a honky tonk angel, to hold me tight
[03:29.71]To keep me from slipping away
[03:39.55]
