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

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

so mama don't you cry
when i'm dead and gone
cause jesus loves his sinners
and heaven is a honky tonk

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

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
