Lyrics

Honkey Tonks in Heaven

Here?s to those honky tonk angels, you?ve heard on the rodeo stations
Singing about whisky, cheatin? and salvation

Oh drop another dollar into that dusty old juke box
And tell that bartender to line up a couple of shots

Chorus:
And tell me they'll be honky tonks in heaven for all my honky tonk hero?s
Cause I just heard an angel sing ?Walkin After Midnight?
And I pray that one day, I?ll see swinging doors on the pearly gates
And a Budweiser sign, just a shining in the window

There ain?t no last call in heaven when old Hank Williams tends the bar
And Patsy Cline and Johnny Cash, sing and play guitar
There so many country stars up there, there?re lighting up the dixie sky
Just thank God they went to heaven, but don?t dare to wonder why

Chorus:
Just tell me they'll be honky tonks in heaven for all my honky tonk hero?s
Cause I just heard an angel sing ?Walkin After Midnight?
And I pray that one day, I?ll see swinging doors on the pearly gates
And a Budweiser sign, just a shining in the window

Bridge:
Oh When the angels come for me on that judgment day
I will make my last request, as they carry me away

Chorus:
And I?ll say, let me play ?Honky Tonks In Heaven? for all my honky tonk hero?s
Cause I just heard an angel sing ?Walkin After Midnight?
And I pray that one day, I?ll see swinging doors on the pearly gates
And a Budweiser sign, just a shining in the window

Outro:
And I pray that one day, I?ll see swinging doors on the pearly gates
And a Budweiser sign, just a shining in the window
