paroles de chanson Bartender's Blues - Live 1976 - James Taylor

I need a honky-tonk angel to hold me
To keep me from drifting away

Well, I'm just a bartender and I don't much 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

But I need four walls around me to hold me back
To help me from going astray
And a need honky-tonk angel to hold me tight
To keep me from drifting away

Now, I can laugh at your jokes
I can light up your smokes
I can watch you fall down on your knees
I can close up this bar
I could gas up my car
I could pack up, returning my key

But I need four walls around me to hold me in
To keep me from going astray
And a need honky-tonk angel to hold me tight
To keep me from drifting away

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, and I sank all my ships
And I'm stranded at the edge of the sea

I need four walls around me to hold me in
To keep me from going astray
And a honky-tonk angel to hold me tight
And keep me from drifting away
