All My Heroes Have Halos Lyrics by C.J. Garton

Tales of the Ole West and Other Libations to Please the Palate

2022

[Verse 1]
I can still smell the whiskey
As I open my dad's guitar case
And it fills my mind with memories
Yeah, strummin' that ol' D-28
I knew every song word for word
From Haggard to Prine to Jones
And it kills me how much that it hurts
When I realize that they're gone
[Chorus]
All my heroes have halos
We lay roses down for them
Then we cried like weepin' willows
Sent 'em off with a old gospel hymn
[Verse 2]
He'd say, "Son, these songs come honest
One day, they're gonna get you through
Somе hardships, son, and some breakups
That I won't be hеre to do
Well, tonight, I broke out dad's vinyls
I let that needle, aw, hit the grooves
I poured myself one strong-ass whiskey
I was pourin' out country rhythm and blues
[Chorus]
All my heroes have halos
Placed a wreath, oh, upon their homes
Then we cried like weepin' willows
As they chiseled their names in stone
[Verse 3]
Now there's an angel up there from Montgomery
Sunday morning's done come on down
Are the good times really over for good
When that man finally comes around?
[Chorus]
All my heroes have halos
We laid a wreath, oh, upon their door
Then we cried like weepin' willows
We sang 'em one final encore
Then we cried like weepin' willows
Sent 'em off on their farewell tour
