Artist/Band: Hank Williams Jr.
Lyrics for Song: If Heaven Ain't A Lot Like Dixie
Lyrics for Album: That's How They Do It In Dixie: The Essential Coll [2006]



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, and 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'm a 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 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 ain't got 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.
