The Whiskey Ain't Workin' Lyrics - 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
