lyrics

Buckle up, we’re headed on down
The bottom of the bottle is hallowed ground
Neon lights in nowhere towns
Don’t sound like much, but it’s the best I’ve found
Whiskey woman won’t you take my hand
And waltz with me to the Promised Land

I hope there’s honky-tonks in heaven
Pretty girls and rodeos
Steel guitars and American cars
blowin’ down old country roads
Well, if there’s honky-tonks in heaven
you can meet me by and by

Where the desperados pine,
for the things they left behind
You can follow the neon signs on down
To my barstool in the sky

Screeching tires baby, shifting gears
Make mine a double, I’m in trouble dear
I was making money, shaking hands out here
But that’s all changed these last few years
Whiskey woman won’t you take it slow
Take me somewhere the lights stay low…

I hope there’s honky-tonks in heaven
Pretty girls and rodeos
Steel guitars and American cars
blowin’ down old country roads
Well, if there’s honky-tonks in heaven
you can meet me by and by

Where the desperados pine,
for the things they left behind
You can follow the neon signs on down
To my barstool in the sky
Just follow the neon signs on down
To my barstool in the sky
