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! |
