Bartender Blues Songtext
von Rick Danko

I don′t mind my work
And I don't mind the money at all
I see lots of sad cases
And lots of sad faces
And folks with their backs up to the wall

I need four walls around me to hold my life
Keep me from going astray
And a honky tonk angel to hold me tight
Keep me from slipping away


Well, I can close down this bar
Can pack up my car
Can gas up and mail in my key
I can blow up my car
Can close down this bar
Can pack up and mail in my key

I said, I need four walls around me to hold my life
Keep me from going astray
And a honky tonk angel to hold me tight
Keep me from slipping away

Well, the smoke fills the room
In this smoky old café
And I think about where I′d rather be
Well, I burned all my bridges
And I sunk all my ships
Now I'm stranded by the edge of the sea


I need four walls around me to hold my life
Keep me from going astray
And a honky tonk angel to hold me tight
Keep me from slipping away
Well, I'm just a bartender
