She took off to where God knows And I took off on down the road And I went lookin' for a sign Came in the form of a neon light I heard a voice say, "It's never too late" Park the truck and went and swang the gate And from wide open, had a revelation And finally made it Where the beer stays cold And there ain't no strangers And you can dance up close To one of those honky tonk angels Everybody's gettin' on a long black train Raise a little hell where there ain't no pain At the paradise where hearts will learn hard lessons A little place called heartbreak heaven It ain't no mansion in the sky It's a hole in the wall off highway five First stop love goes when it dies To put the hurt on ice Where the beer stays cold And there ain't no strangers And you can dance up close To one of those honky tonk angels Everybody's gettin' on a long black train Raise a little hell where there ain't no pain At the paradise where hearts will learn hard lessons A little place called heartbreak heaven (woo) Won't you see What you see You won't ever want to leave Where the beer stays cold And there ain't no strangers And you can dance up close To one of those honky tonk angels Everybody's gettin' on a long black train Raise a little hell where there ain't no pain At the paradise where hearts will learn hard lessons Where I lose at countin' rounds and all my blessings A little place called heartbreak heaven Yeah Mm, heartbreak heaven (it ain't so bad, ain't it?)
