GThere was a time when I could Cdrink my cares Gaway
And drown out all of the heartacheAbs   Athat hurt me night & Dday
When the tGhought of you came crashin' through CI'd have one Gmore
But now the whiskey ain't wDorkin' anyGmore
I need Cone good honky tonk angel to Gturn my life around
That's reason enough for Eme to lay Athis old bottle Ddown
A Gwoman warm & willing is Cwhat I'm looking Gfor
'Cause the whiskey ain't woDrkin anymGore
[Instrumental]

[Verse]
They knew my name at Cevery bar in Gtown
And they knew all of the reasonAbs   Awhy I was comming Dround
'Cause Gin my mind Cpeace I'd find Gwhen they'd start to Cpour
But now the wGhiskey ain't wDorkinm' anymoGre   (sing it Slim)
I need Cone good honky tonk angel to Gturn my life around
That's reason enough for Eme to lay Athis ol' bottle dDown
Well a wGoman warm & willing Lord that's Cwhat I'm lookin' fGor
'Cause the whiskey ain't wDorkin' anymGore
CLord the Gwhiskey ain't wDorkin' anymGore
