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

[Verse 1]
A poor boy found heaven
With a good country girl
He had all he wanted
She was his whole world

[Verse 2]
But working the coal mine
Can wear a man down
He started spending
Too much time in town

[Verse 3]
He found temptation
Fell under it's spell
And Hillbilly Heaven
Went to Honky Tonk Hell

[Verse 4]
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

[Verse 5]
Somewhere in Hazzard
On a dark, dead-end street
Where whiskey and heartache
And old memories meet

[Verse 6]
He looks for salvation
In a bottle each night
And just goes on living
Though he's lost his life

[Verse 7]
Now there's a job in the coal mine
That needs to be filled
And a heartache in Hazzard
That won't ever heal

[Verse 8]
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

[Outro]
He's gone from Hillbilly Heaven
To Honky Tonk Hell
