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

And 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

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
Go and gas up my old car
Hon, I can pack up, oh Lord
And mail in my key

And 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

Now the smoke fills the air
In this honky tonk bar
And I'm thinking 'bout where I'd rather be
But I burned all my bridges
And I sank all my ships
Now I'm stranded at the edge of the sea

I still 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
