Lyrics
Stairway to Honky Tonk Heaven
The upstairs bar at Jack?s is the place to be on Friday nights
My hometown paradise of steel guitars and neon lights
I was on top of the world one night when right at the stroke of eleven
I saw that angel climbin? up the Stairway to Honky Tonk Heaven
She fired a look that hit me like a flaming shot of love
As we danced her smile seemed to say ?Let?s taste some harder stuff?
My head was in the clouds and I could feel my heart two steppin?
As she took my hand and led me down the Stairway to Honky Tonk Heaven
Out by the lake the moon was dancin? in the summer sky
As we kissed the only stars I saw were swirlin? in my eyes
The rest is history, a time I never will forget
Though I ain?t seen my angel since that magic night we met
But every Friday, I?ll be here at Jack?s from now ?til Armageddon
Prayin? she?ll come walkin? up the Stairway to Honky Tonk Heaven
I?m happy to be holdin? on to my devine obsession
Dreamin? she?ll come waltzin? up the Stairway to Honky Tonk Heaven
