[00:00.75]Now I'm just a bartender
[00:05.24]And I don't like my work
[00:09.49]But I don't mind the money at all
[00:15.23]
[00:17.91]I see lots of sad faces
[00:22.93]And lots of bad cases
[00:26.74]Folks with their backs to the wall
[00:35.13]But I need four walls around me
[00:40.07]To hold my life
[00:44.32]To keep me from going astray
[00:52.62]And a honky-tonk angel
[00:57.86]To hold me tight
[01:02.41]To keep me from slipping away
[01:11.27]I can light up your smokes
[01:15.45]I can laugh at your jokes
[01:19.82]I can watch you fall down on your knees
[01:27.50]
[01:29.00]I can close down this bar
[01:34.24]I can gas up my old car
[01:37.86]I can pack up and mail in the key
[01:46.53]But I need four walls around me
[01:51.65]To hold my life
[01:56.39]To keep me from going astray
[02:04.81]
[02:05.94]And a honky-tonk angel
[02:10.12]To hold me tight
[02:13.37]To keep me from slipping away
[02:22.23]
[02:41.03]Now the smoke fills the air
[02:44.58]In this honky-tonk bar
[02:49.21]And I'm thinking about where I'd rather be
[02:56.45]
[02:58.01]But I burned all my bridges
[03:02.76]And I sank all ships
[03:06.50]Now I'm stranded at the edge of the sea
[03:14.42]
[03:15.29]I still need four walls around me
[03:20.41]To hold my life
[03:24.84]To keep me from going astray
[03:33.33]And a honky-tonk angel to hold me tight
[03:43.00]To keep me from slipping away
