Standard (EADGBE)

There was a time when I could drink my cares away

And drown out all of the heartaches that hurt me night & 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 old bottle down

A woman warm & willing is what I'm looking for

'Cause the whiskey ain't workin anymore

break ......

They knew my name at every bar in town

And they knew all of the reasons why I was comming round

round round (sing it Travis)

'Cause in my mind peace I'd find when they'd start to pour

But now the whiskey ain't workinm' anymore (sing it Slim)

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 & willing Lord 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!
