Lyrics
[Verse 1]
There was a time
I could drink my cares away
And drown out all of the heartaches
That hurt me night and day
[Verse 2]
When the thought of you
Came crashin' through
I'd have one more
But now the whiskey
Ain't workin' anymore
[Verse 3]
I need one good honkey-tonk angel
To turn my life around
That's a reason enough for me to lay
This ol' bottle down
[Verse 4]
A woman warm and willin'
That's what I'm lookin' for
'Cause the whiskey
Ain't workin' anymore
(Ow)
[Verse 5]
They knew my name
At every bar in town
And they knew all of the reasons
Why I was comin' 'round, 'round, 'round
(Sing it, Travis)
[Verse 6]
'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)
[Verse 7]
I need one good honkey-tonk angel
To turn my life around
That's a reason enough for me to lay
This ol' bottle down
[Verse 8]
Well, a woman warm and willin'
Lord, that's the one I'm lookin' for
(That's right)
'Cause the whiskey
Ain't workin' anymore
[Verse 9]
Lord, the whiskey
Ain't workin' anymore
(That's for sure)
