Lyrics

Can they change a $20 up in Heaven?
Is the juke box 3 for a quarter or 1 for a dime?
Is Patsy still walking after midnight?
Does the music still sound better at closing time?
Will you find those weary hobos are still sleeping
In the boxcars bound for glory down the tracks?
I sure would like to be there just to greet them,
And tell them, “Boys I missed you, welcome back”

Heaven is the sound of a fiddle playing
In a honky-tonk somewhere above the stars
Well, I tell ya Lord, I been on my knees a-praying
There’s a table waiting for me in that smoky bar

I wonder what they’re drinking up there in Heaven?
Does that Wild Turkey liquor still get you high?
I wonder if Hank is finally contented
Or is he still so lonesome he could cry?
And will that circle be unbroken
When we all join hands together up in the sky?
Will Mother Maybelle sing us one last chorus
When we all get to that sweet old by and by?

Heaven is the sound of a guitar playing
In a honky-tonk somewhere above the stars
Well, I tell ya Lord, I been on my knees a-praying
There’s a table waiting for me in that smoky bar

Heaven is the sound of a piano playing
In a honky-tonk somewhere above the stars
Well, I tell ya Lord, I been on my knees a-praying
There’s a table waiting for me in that smoky bar
