* * * * *
all my heroes have gone to heaven
where all them saints where flaming shoes
the junkies and the whores
all 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 righteous joes take to shoveling coal
the killers and the cons
the pushers and the johns
with halos, wings and just'a 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 heroes've 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
yes and heaven is a honky tonk
so mama don't you cry
when i'm dead and gone
'cause jesus, he loves his sinners
yes and heaven, heaven is a honky tonk...
Jesus loves his sinners, and Ray loves his 7th chords.
So glad to find this again, Thank you! I heard this live on Austin City Limits years ago and it bowled me over...I could not find it listed on any of Ray's albums, which surprised me 'cause it's so unique and amazing. Ray's soft voice teases with emotion...so good!
God, he crushes it with this song!
Damn! been listening to Ray since I heard that guy sing Trouble on American idol from like season 2 or 3. Yet somehow, I never heard this song. God this man is good at what he does
Ray makes me teary eyed.
This was the first song I ever heard him sing, and haven't been able to find it since that night years ago. Thank you so much!!!
Damn. Right in the feelz again.
Thanks for this incredible Video : Ray can talk on TV ! Wouah !... I love it !
I really love this! Ray is a gem.
Black Cat, oh my Goodness, I think it's kizmet today that I found your playlists. Wow.
I've been looking for this video for such a long time.
I love this song. I’m surprised he never put it on an album
I've got the other version, it's raucous, bluesy & definitely earlier. I could upload it I guess. I love this version though, so delicate & who knew he could talk so well on TV?
Hallelujah!
Amazing!!
Oh wow, so, this is not a Highwomen original.
Thanks for sharing this. Nice video. Would be cool if you'd come take a look at my videos as well, I just posted a new original song that you might like called 'The Waitress'. Much appreciated. -Brett
