Whiskey Heaven
Whiskey Heaven: A Honky Tonk Journey Through Life's Highs and Hangovers
Lyrics
Every afternoon when I wake up
Every day, upon waking up in the afternoon
I say a little prayer and I drink up
I engage in a brief prayer and start drinking alcohol
I thank the Lord for driving me home
I express gratitude to God for safely getting me home
Once more...
Reiteration of the routine
There's an open bottle on the table
In the room, there's an open bottle on the table
And an empty bottle on the floor
And an empty bottle discarded on the floor
Last night I thought I'd died
Reflecting on a past night when the singer felt close to death
And I went to Whiskey Heaven
Describing an experience where they felt like they entered a heavenly place related to whiskey
You know the sun never shines in Whiskey Heaven
Metaphorically suggesting that in this whiskey heaven, happiness is absent ("sun never shines")
It rains Jack Daniels all the time
Metaphor for constant drinking, suggesting an ongoing presence of a specific brand of whiskey (Jack Daniels)
There's a price you pay, hang overs everyday
Consequences of excessive drinking - experiencing hangovers regularly
Flying high with honky tonk angels in Whiskey Heaven
Enjoying an intoxicated state with fellow party-goers or friends
There's a run down bar, it's a open all night
Description of a rundown bar that remains open throughout the night
When me and my friends can get tight
A place where the singer and friends can become heavily intoxicated
Underneath the neon lights
Amidst the bright lights of the bar
In Whiskey Heaven
Reiterating the notion of being in a whiskey-induced paradise
Well we drank a little beer and wine
Engaging in drinking beer and wine
We stay drunk most of the time
State of continual drunkenness
We're always raisin' hell all night
Describing a rowdy and wild behavior throughout the night
In Whiskey Heaven
Reaffirmation of being in a whiskey-driven paradise
You know the sun never shines in Whiskey Heaven
Reiteration of the absence of happiness or positivity in the whiskey-induced heaven
It rains Jack Daniels all the time
Continuous presence of a specific brand of whiskey (Jack Daniels) in this metaphorical place
There's a price you pay, hang overs everyday
Consequences of excessive drinking - dealing with hangovers daily
Flying high with honky tonk angels in Whiskey Heaven
Enjoying a drunken state with 'honky tonk angels'
Fly high with honky tonk angels in Whiskey Heaven
Repeated emphasis on reveling in the company of these drunken 'angels'
Fly high with honky tonk angels in Whiskey Heaven
Reiteration of reveling with intoxicated 'angels' in the whiskey-induced paradise
