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 bar
these days
Buying everyone
a round
Ain't it funny how
the tables turn
Not bad for

Ain't it funny how
the tables turn
Not bad for
