"From Hillbilly Heaven To Honky Tonk Hell" lyrics - JOHN ANDERSON

On a hillside in Hazzard
Sets a new double-wide
God's little acre
Your paradise

A poor boy found heaven
With a good country girl
He had all he wanted
She was his whole world

But working the coal mine
Can wear a man down
He started spending
Too much time in town

He found temptation
Fell under it's spell
And hillbilly heaven
Went to honky-tonk hell

From hillbilly heaven
To honky-tonk hell
From a warm home fire burning
To a cold, cheap motel

And an angel is crying
'Cause her good man fell
From hillbilly heaven
To honky-tonk hell

Somewhere in Hazzard
On a dark, dead-end street
Where whiskey and heartache
And old memories meet

He looks for salvation
In a bottle each night
And just goes on livin'
Though he's lost his life

Now there's a job in the coal mine
That needs to be filled
And a heartache in Hazzard
That won't ever heal

He had it all
Now it's all for sale
And hillbilly heaven's
Gone to honky-tonk hell

From hillbilly heaven
To honky-tonk hell
From a warm home fire burning
To a cold, cheap motel

And an angel is crying
'Cause her good man fell
From hillbilly heaven
To honky-tonk hell

He's gone from hillbilly heaven
To honky-tonk hell
