Lookin' for neon signs and a wooden floor


Texas two-steppin 'at the dancehall


Twangy music blaring out the door


Workin' class folks drinkin 'til last call




When I reach honky tonk heaven


I pray my friends will be waiting for me


Heartbreak songs we ain't forgettin'


Last call goes on for eternity


In honky tonk heaven






Patsy and Ernest gave us that true blue sound


Tonk piano rowdy, raw, and gritty


Hank and George you're on sacred ground


Sayin' hello darlin' to Conway Twitty




When I reach honky tonk heaven


I pray my friends will be waiting for me


Heartbreak songs we ain't forgettin'


Last call goes on for eternity




In honky tonk heaven


Cowboys, outlaws, and some shady people hide


It's a game of chance each and every night


Come one, come all to the other side


Hear those keys poundiin' it feels alright


It feels alright, alright




[Instrumental bridge]






When I reach honky tonk heaven


I pray my friends will be waiting for me


Heartbreak songs we ain't forgettin'


Last call goes on for eternity


In honky tonk heaven





Feelin' young and free in honky tonk heaven
