Would you please welcome to Harvey's Bar?
Lyn Bowtell, everyone
Well, I'm just a bartender, and I don't 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 back to the wall
I need four walls around me to hold my life
To keep me from going astray
And a honky-tonk 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 could close down this bar, oh, and gas up my old car
And I can pack up, oh Lord, and mail in my keys
I need four walls around me to hold my life
To keep me from going astray
And a honky-tonk angel to hold me tight
To keep me from slipping away
ย
Now the smoke fills the air in this honky-tonk bar
And I'm thinkin' 'bout where I'd rather be
Oh, but I burned all my bridges and I sank all my ships
Now I'm stranded at the edge of the sea
But I need four walls around me to hold my life
To keep me from goin' astray
And a honky-tonk angel to hold me tight
To keep me from slipping away
Hey, hey
Thanks for having me a Harvey's bar
Whose shout is it?
