Heaven Can't Be Found

Hank Williams Jr. · The Complete Hank Williams Jr. [1999]

I looked over at my pillow

But your face wasn't there.

And I don't smell the perfume you used to wear.

And I don't see your blouse or jeans,

Or your pretty white cotton gown.

And I've looked all over hell,

But Heaven can't be found.

I looked on the bedside table

But your jewelry was all gone.

And I just wish you'd call me

Everytime I look at the phone.

I looked in our dressing mirror

And I saw myself break down.

Oh, I've looked all over hell,

But Heaven can't be found.

I've called and looked in every place

You used to hang around.

I've searched in every bar and club

And honky tonk in town.

And I don't know if I can go on without breaking down.

I've looked all over hell

But Heaven can't be found.

And I don't know if I can go on without breaking down.

Oh, I've looked all over hell,

But my Heaven can't be found.
