Bartender's Blues (Album Version)

Bartender's Blues (Album Version) - Bonnie Raitt

Now I'm just a bartender

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

But I need four walls around me to hold my life

To keep me from going astray

And a honky tonky angel to hold me tight

To keep me from slipping away

I can light up your smokes

I'll can laugh at your jokes

I'll can watch you fall down on your knees

I can close down this bar

I can as up my car

I can pack up and mail in my key

But 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

And I have the smoke fills the air

In this honky tonk bar

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

But I burned all my bridges

I sunk all my sheed

And I'm stranded at the edge of the sea

But 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
