121. "If Heaven Ain't A Lot Like Dixie"

If Heaven Ain't A Lot Like Dixie
by Hank Williams Jr., 1982

If heaven ain't a lot like Dixie, I don't wanna go
If heaven ain't a lot like Dixie, I'd just as soon stay home

I was one of the chosen few, to be born in Alabam'
I'm just alike my daddy's son, I'm proud of who I am
I went through a lot of good women, shook old Jim Beam's hand
If I never see the pearly gates, I've walked through the promised land

If heaven ain't a lot like Dixie, I don't wanna go
If heaven ain't a lot like Dixie, I'd just as soon stay home
If they don't have a Grand Ole Opry, like they do in Tennessee
Just send me to Hell or New York City, it would be about the same to me


I've got wild honey trees and crazy little weeds, growin' around my shack
These dusty roads ain't streets of gold, but I'ma happy right where I'm at
All these pretty little southern belles are a country boy's dream
They ain't got wings or halos, but they're sure looking good to me

If heaven ain't a lot like Dixie, I don't wanna go
If heaven ain't a lot like Dixie, I'd just as soon stay home
If they don't have a Grand Ole Opry, like they do down in Tennessee
Just send me to Hell or New York City, it would be about the same to me

If heaven ain't a lot like Dixie, I don't wanna go
If heaven ain't a lot like Dixie, I'd just as soon stay home


If heaven ain't a lot like Dixie, I don't wanna go
If heaven ain't a lot like Dixie, I'd just as soon stay home


If they don't have a Grand Ole Opry, like they do in Tennessee
Just send me to Hell or New York City, it would be about the same to me
