Lyrics
A bar I love on the outskirts of town
Right past all that stuff they’d love to tear down
They welcome me in to my favorite stool
Hand me a bottle, Son keep your cool
I reach for my wallet like anyone should
The barkeep says keep it here you’re money’s no good
I look in the mirror expect to sprout wings and fly
Better get out of heaven before I die
Band hits the stage they cut into a tune
Till the whole place around me it starts to move
While all at once tonight's barroom queen
Sits right beside me and laughs and leans
I take her hand and we waltz to the floor
The way she moves gets me right to the core
I don’t know the reason I don’t want to ask why
Wanna stay here in heaven till I die
In a flash it’s cheers, cheers
You don’t have to go home but you can’t stay here
Off to a little wooden house with an RCA
Hear Charlie Patton singing as she lights my way
Our shadows dancing by candlelight
Two young kids in love, at least for tonight
If I wake from a dream you’ll hear a grown man cry
Get me out of heaven before I die
