Lyrics:

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...
