James Taylor Bartender's Blues

Tekst piosenki

[Verse 1]
Now 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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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 car
I can pack up and mail in my key

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Now, 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 sank all my ships
And I’m stranded at the edge of the sea

[Chorus]
