Lyrics:

There was a time when I could drink my cares away
And drown out all of the heartaches that hurt me night & 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 old bottle down
A woman warm & 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 comming round
round round (sing it Travis)
'Cause in my mind peace I'd find when they'd start to pour
But now the whiskey ain't workin' anymore (sing it Slim)

I need one good honky tonk angel to turn my life around
That's reason enough for me to lay this ol' bottle down
Well a woman warm & willing Lord 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!
