Circle left
There was a time
When I could drink my tears away
Men star right and go one time
Left allemande and you weave
When the thought of you came crashin' through
I'd have one more
'Cause now the whiskey ain't workin' anymore

Heads (sides) square thru four
Around your corner lady dosado
When you're done, swing thru
Recycle, veer to the left
Half tag the line, boys run right
Pass the ocean now
Scoot back swing your girl
'Cause now the whiskey ain't workin' anymore

Circle left
I need one good honky-tonk angel
To turn my life around
Men star right one time 'round
Left allemande and you weave
A woman warm and willin'
That's what I'm lookin' for
'Cause the whiskey ain't workin' anymore
