The Whiskey Ain`t Workin` — текст песни (Stuart Marty)

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
