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



Chorus:

I need one good honky tonk angel

to turn my life around

That's reason enough for me

to lay this old bottle down

A woman warm and willing

is what I'm looking 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 coming 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



Chorus



Lord the whiskey ain't workin' anymore

That's for sure!
