The Whiskey Ain't Workin'

There was a time

I could drink my cares away

And drown out all of the heartaches

That hurt me night and day

When the thought of you

Came crashin' through

I'd have one more

But now the whiskey ain't workin' anymore

I need one good honky-tonk angel

To turn my life around

That's reason enough for me to lay this ol' bottle down

A woman warm and willin'

That's what I'm lookin' for

'Cause the whiskey ain't workin' anymore

They knew my name

At every bar in town

And they knew all of the reasons

Why I was comin' 'round

'Cause in my mind

Peace I'd find

When they'd start to pour

But now the whiskey ain't workin' anymore

I need one good honky-tonk angel

To turn my life around

That's reason enough for me to lay this ol' bottle down

A woman warm and willin'

That's what I'm lookin' for

'Cause the whiskey ain't workin' anymore

Lord the whiskey ain't workin' anymore

That's for sure
