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, Id have one more
But now the whiskey aint workin anymore
I need one good honky tonk angel to turn my life around
Thats reason enough for me to lay this old bottle down
A woman warm and willing, thats what Im looking for
Cause the whiskey aint 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 Id find, when theyd start to pour
But now the whiskey aint workin anymore sing it, son
I need one good honky tonk angel to turn my life around
Thats reason enough for me to lay this old bottle down
Well, a woman warm and willing, Lord, thats what Im looking for thats right
Cause the whiskey aint workin anymore
Lord, the whiskey aint workin anymore
Thats for sure
