Gretchen Wilson › Lyrics › Not Bad for a Bartender

I stood behind 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 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 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

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
