Not Bad for a Bartender

I stood behing that bar till closing time

I served cold beer, warm whiskey, and Rotgut 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 backwoods girl

who had to make it on her own

I'm on the stool side of the bar these days

Buying everyone a round

Ain't it funny how the tables turn

Not bad for a bartender

Swingin' doors and cleanin' floors is all I'd ever known

Out of nowhere somehow i gound my yello brick road

So when you're broke and paying dues

Look at me I'm living proof

And if there's hope for me

Know there's hope for you.

I'm on the stool side of the bars these days

Buying everyone a round

Ain't it funny how the tables turn

Not bad for a bartender

Ain't it funny how the tables turn

Not bad for a bartender
