They knew my name at every bar in town
That's reason enough for me to lay this old bottle down
I need one good honky-tonk angel to turn my life around
Lord, the whiskey ain't workin' anymore
'Cause the whiskey ain't workin' anymore
'Cause in my mind, peace I'd find when they'd start to pour
'Cause the whiskey ain't workin' anymore
A woman warm and willin', that's what I'm lookin' for
But now the whiskey ain't workin' anymore
And they knew all of the reasons why I was comin' 'round, 'round, 'round
Well a woman warm and willin', Lord that's what I'm lookin' for
But now the whiskey ain't workin' anymore
That's reason enough for me to lay this ol' bottle down
When the thought of you came crashing thruough I'd have one more
I need one good honky-tonk angel to turn my life around
