The Whiskey Ain't Workin' Composer(s): Marty Stuart - Ronny Scaife Performer(s): Travis Tritt & Marty Stuart and multiple other artists
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 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, 'round, 'round (Sing it, Travis) 'Cause in my mind, peace I'd find When they'd start to pour Now the whiskey ain't workin' anymore (Sing it, son)
I need one good honky-tonk angel To turn my life around That's reason enough for me to lay This ol' bottle down Well, a woman warm and willin' Lord, that's what I'm lookin' for (That's right) 'Cause the whiskey ain't workin' anymore
Lord, the whiskey ain't workin' anymore For sure...
