The Highwomen - Heaven Is a Honky Tonk lyrics

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

There's a choir singin' 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
Hoo oo, hoo oo, hoo oo oo

I won't say their names
They've been said 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 the livin'
Free was worth the while

There's a choir singin' 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
Hoo oo, hoo oo, hoo oo oo

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

There's a choir singin' 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
Hoo oo, hoo oo, hoo oo oo
