Heaven Is A Honky Tonk

All my heroes are going to heaven
All the junkies and the liars and the fools
All good-timing men will leave their voices on the wind
It's a kindness we cannot repay to them

There's a choir singing in a Southern accent
A fiddle in the band
There's a hallelujah on the lips of every dying man
Mama don't you cry when they're dead and gone
Jesus he loves his sinners and heaven is a honky tonk (whoo, hoo)

I won't say their names
They've been sad enough in vain
Just the memory and the thousand years of smiles
The lines around your eyes
Tell me you're not far behind
But I can see that living free was worth the while

There's a choir singing in a Southern accent
A fiddle in the band
There's a hallelujah on the lips of every dying man
Mama don't you cry when they're dead and gone
Jesus he loves his sinners and heaven is a honky tonk (whooo, ooh)

Happiness they say, is a jukebox that always plays
And a lonesome heart ain't lonely anymore
Every soul that dared passed on
Is now covered in neon
They dance with silver wings on wooden floors

There's a choir singing in a Southern accent
A fiddle in the band
There's a hallelujah on the lips of every dying man
Mama don't you cry when they're dead and gone
Jesus he loves his sinners and heaven is a honky tonk (whooo, ooh)
