HEAVEN IS A HONKY TONK -- Ray LaMontagne
This is a song Ray did on Austin City Limits. You can find the video on YouTube, among
places, though I don't think it's been released on an album yet.

(Verse 1)
All my heroes have gone to heaven
Where all them saints wear flaming shoes
The junkies and the whores are behind them pearly doors
I guess i'm going to go to heaven too
(Verse 2)
Now all my heroes have gone to heaven
Where all them richeous joes take to shoveling coal
The killers and the cons
The pushers and the pawns
With halos, wings just hovering over paths of gold
(Chorus)
so mama don't you cry
when i'm dead and gone
cause jesus loves his sinners
and heaven is a honky tonk
---
(Verse 3)
Now all my heros have gone to heaven
The liars and the gamblers and the fools
The drunkards and the thieves
All wearing silk upon their sleeves
And every gal is like a silver pearl in bloom
(Chorus)
So mama don't you cry
When i'm dead and gone
Cause jesus loves his sinners
And heaven is a honky tonk
So mama don't you cry
When i'm dead and gone
Cause jesus loves his sinners
And heaven is a honky tonk
And heaven is a honky tonk
