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

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
That's 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
(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, son)

I need one good honky tonk angel
To turn my life around
That's reason enough for me to
Lay this old bottle down
Well, a woman warm and willing, Lord
That's what I'm looking for
(that's right)
'Cause the whiskey ain't workin' anymore
Lord, the whiskey ain't workin' anymore
That's for sure
