♪ Now I'm just a bartender, and I don't like my work ♪ ♪ But I don't mind the money at all ♪ ♪ I've seen 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 my life ♪ ♪ To keep me from going astray ♪ ♪ And a honkytonk 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, I can gas up my car ♪ ♪ And I can pack up and mail in my keys ♪ ♪ But I need four walls around me to hold me tight ♪ ♪ To keep me from going astray ♪ ♪ And a honkytonk angel to hold me tight ♪ ♪ To keep me from slipping away ♪ Whats up Alabama!
