Marty Stuart - The Whiskey Ain't Workin' lyrics

Written by Marty Stuart and Ronny Scaife 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 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 ole 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 in every bar in town And they knew all of the reasons why I was comin' 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 I need one good honky-tonk angel to turn my life around That's reason enough for me to lay this ole bottle down A woman warm and willin', that's what I'm lookin' for 'Cause the whiskey ain't workin' anymore Lord the whiskey ain't workin' anymore That's for sure
