Honky Tonk Angel

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 & lots of bad cases Of folks with their backs to the wall

I need four arms 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

I can light up your smokes I could laugh at your jokes I could watch you fall down on your knees I can close down this bar I could gas up my car I could pack up the mail & my keys

I need four arms 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

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

I need four arms 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
