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 a reason enough for me to lay this old bottle down
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, 'round, 'round
'Cause in my mind, peace I'd find when they'd start to pour
But now the whiskey ain't workin' anymore, thank you, sir
I need one good honky-tonk angel to turn my life around
That's a reason enough for me to lay this old bottle down
Well a woman warm and willin', Lord that's what I'm lookin' for, that's right
'Cause the whiskey ain't workin' anymore
Lord, the whiskey ain't workin' anymore, that's for sure
