The Whiskey Ain’t Workin’ Songtext
von Travis Tritt feat. 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 crashin′ 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 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 of the reasons
Why I was comin' '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 ol' 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
