Backstory:

Original music and lyrics by Clare Steffen.  I tried many, many renditions in SUNO, and this one was the best version.                                                              

Lyrics:

                                                  
[Verse]

Lookin' for neon signs and a wooden floor


Texas two-steppin 'at the dancehall


Twangy music blaring out the door


Workin' class folks drinkin 'til last call



[Verse]

Jimmy, Earnest, and Patsy gave us that sound


Tonk piano rowdy, raw, and gritty


Hank and George you're on sacred ground


Sayin' hello darlin' to Conway Twitty



[Chorus]

When I reach honky tonk heaven


I pray my friends will be waiting for me


Heartfelt songs we ain't forgettin'


Last call goes on for eternity


News of feel-good times is quickly spreadin'


No entrance fee to God's Grand Ole Opry


I'll be smilin' wide in honky tonk heaven


My friends will be waiting for me


In honky tonk heaven



[Bridge]

Cowboys, outlaws, and some shady people hide


It's a game of chance each and every night


Come one, come all to the other side


Hear those keys poundin' it feels alright


It feels alright, alright



[Chorus]

When I reach honky tonk heaven


I pray my friends will be waiting for me


Heartfelt songs we ain't forgettin'


Last call goes on for eternity


News of feel-good times is quickly spreadin'


No entrance fee to God's Grand Ole Opry


I'll be smilin' wide in honky tonk heaven


My friends will be waiting for me


In honky tonk heaven



[Tag]

Feelin' young and free in honky tonk heaven
