Heaven Hills on Fire by The Galoots Lyrics

I take to the back roads
As often as I can
Used to watch the scenery
With a whiskey in my hand

I never saw a policeman
But on this particular day
There were hordes of cops and firemen
Much to my dismay

But they paid no attention
I was confused to say the least
Til I finally noticed
The giant roaring beast

[Chorus]
Devils drinking devils
And the flames are getting higher
All of Bardstown's crying tonight
Heaven Hill's on fire
I never saw a fire so bright
It glowed for miles around
The old bossman was a-cryin'
As the old stillhouse burned down

It was on Action-11
And the News at Ten
I shudder when I think about it
Every now and then

[Chorus]
Devils drinking devils
And the flames are getting higher
All of Bardstown's crying tonight
Heaven Hill's on fire

I could smell the whiskey in the air
And I thought of Early Times
Back before I was a rounder
And the bottle changed my mind

I could taste the burning embers
As if I was next in line
I was wishing I'd come down this road
At some later time
You could hear the timbers creaking
As they broke and burned away
When the whiskey fueled the fire
That pushed the men away

I could see the spirits dancing
As the liquor mixed with flame
The night's unholy union
Seemed to mock my very name

[Chorus]
Devils drinking devils
And the flames are getting higher
All of Bardstown's crying tonight
Heaven Hill's on fire

Now I don't believe in fairy tales
But I'm sure it was a sign
I was a whiskey drinker
But now I've switched to wine

It's devil in a bottle
Evil, golden brown
I've seen it take a man's very soul
Quickly six feet down
[Chorus]
Well, the devils drinking devils
And the flames are getting higher
All of Bardstown's crying tonight
Heaven Hill's on fire
