George Jones & Trisha Yearwood
T: I'm just a bartender
And 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
B: But I need 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
G: 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
I can gas up my old car
I can pack up and mail in the key
B: But I need 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
T: Now the smoke fills the air
In this honky-tonk bar
And I'm thinking 'bout
Where I'd rather be
G: But I burned all my bridges
And I sank all ships now
I'm stranded at the edge of the sea
B: But I need 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...
