There was a time I could drink my cares away
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 the whiskey ain't working anymore
I need one good honky tonk angel 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 working anymore
They knew my name at every bar in town
They knew all of the reasons why
I was coming round round round
Cause in my mind peace
I'd find they start to pour
But the whiskey ain't working anymore
I need one good honky tonk angel 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 working anymore
Lord the whiskey ain't working anymore
