(Ronny Scaife, Marty Stuart)
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 thruough
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 ol` bottle down
A 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 the reasons why I comin` `round
`Cause in my mind, peace I`d find when they`d start to pour
But now the whiskey ain`t workin` anymore
Repeat Chorus
Lord, the whiskey ain`t workin` anymore
That`s for sure.....
