Lyrics
(Verse 1) Sun sinkin' low, week's work is done Dust off my boots, time for some fun Got my guitar, worn and well-loved Ready to sing 'bout the heart I've been robbed (Chorus) Friday night lights in Honky Tonk Heaven, yeah Whiskey's flowin', music's playin' clear Broken hearts mendin', laughter ringin' true Underneath the neon glow, me and you (Verse 2) Saw ol' Jimmy Joe, lookin' kinda blue Lost his woman, don't know what to do But tonight's for forgettin', leavin' troubles behind Let the music wash over, ease his weary mind (Chorus) Friday night lights in Honky Tonk Heaven, yeah Whiskey's flowin', music's playin' clear Broken hearts mendin', laughter ringin' true Underneath the neon glow, me and you (Bridge) This ain't no church, but souls find grace here In the twangin' guitars and the clinking of beer We share our stories, our joys and our pain Findin' solace 'til the sun shines again (Verse 3) She walks in slow, dress red as sin Says she needs a drink, and a place to begin A new chapter, a fresh start tonight Under these lights, everything feels right (Chorus) Friday night lights in Honky Tonk Heaven, yeah Whiskey's flowin', music's playin' clear Broken hearts mendin', laughter ringin' true Underneath the neon glow, me and you (Outro) Yeah, Friday night lights, burnin' bright and bold Another story in this Honky Tonk's been told Friday night lights, shinin' down on me In Honky Tonk Heaven, is where I'll be
