Intro :

Now I'm just a bar tender

And I don't like my work

But I d on't mind the money at all

I see l ots of sad f aces

And l ots of bad cases

Of folks with their backs to the w all

But I need four walls a round me to hold my life

To keep me from going a- stra y

And a honky-tonk an gel to h old me tight

To keep me from slipping away

I can l ight up your smokes

I can l augh at your jokes

I can w atch you fall down on your knees

I can c lose down this bar

I can g as up my car

I can p ack up and mail in my key

But I need four walls a round me to hold my life

To keep me from going a- stra y

And a honky-tonk an gel to h old me tight

To keep me from slipping away

(Instrumental)

Now, the smoke fills the air

In this honky-tonk b ar

And I'm t hinking 'bout where I'd rather be

But I b urned all my b ridges

I s ank all my s hips

And I'm s tranded at the edge of the sea

But I need four walls a round me to hold my life

To keep me from going a- stra y

And a honky-tonk an gel to h old me tight

To keep me from slipping away
