not bad fora bartender (album version)

I stood behind that bar till closing time
I served cold beer, warm whiskey

and rot-gut wine

Now I'm up here on the stage

everybody knows my name

and I can't believe how long they wait

in my autograph line

Not bad for a bartender

or an eighth grade education

pretty good for a back woods girl,

who had to make it on her own

I'm on the stools out in bar these days

buying everyone a round

ain't it funny how the tables turned

Not bad for a bartender

Swinging doors and

cleaning floors is all I'd ever know

and out of no where somehow I found

my yellow brick road

so when you're broke and paying dues,

look at me I'm living proof

and if there's hope for me

I know there's hope for you

Not bad for a bartender

or an eighth grade education

pretty good for a back woods girl,

who had to make it on her own

I'm on the stools out in bar these days

buying everyone a round

ain't it funny how the tables turned

Not bad for a bartender

I'm on the stools out in bar these days

buying everyone a round

ain't it funny how the tables turned

Not bad for a bartender

ain't it funny how the tables turned

Not bad for a bartender
