Kenny Chesney:From Hillbilly Heaven To Honky Tonk Hell
From LyricWiki
This song is performed by Kenny Chesney and appears on the album I Will Stand (1997).
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
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
