| 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 crashing 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 ole 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 in every bar in town
|
| And they knew all of the reasons why I was comin' round, round, 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 ole 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 |
