Victor Wainwright & The WildRoots Honky Tonk Heaven lyrics

I know a juke joint on the edge of town
Not too classy, a little run down
Dust on the floor, smoke in the air
Your troubles float away when you walk in there
Some are getting' loose, some are gettin' tight
Everybody here is high as a kite

We're gonna raise a little hell in the honky tonk heaven tonight.

You're a sweet little girl, cute as you can be
But you bring out the devil in me
I'm no sinner, I'm no saint
You're built like a Caddy with a new coat of paint
You're a vision of heaven, a glorious site
You ain't wearin' wings, but you're an angel alright

We're gonna raise a little hell in the honky tonk heaven tonight.

Up on high Gabriel blow your horn
Now don't be shy knockin' down heavens door

Burn boogie blues til the break of dawn

Turn up the heat, the fever is on
Now don't be square, take my advice
Have yourself a little slice of paradise
Tell Saint Peter, it's alright,
the pearly gates are comin' down tonight

We're gonna raise a little hell in the honky tonk heaven tonight.

Up on high Gabriel blow your horn
Now don't be shy knockin' down heavens door

I know a juke joint on the edge of town
Not too classy, a little run down
Dust on the floor, smoke in the air
Your troubles float away when you walk in there
Tell Saint Peter, it's alright, the pearly gates are comin' down tonight

Chorus Out…
