John Schneider - It's a Short Walk from Heaven to Hell lyrics

You were God's best creation But I didn't know what I had 'Til it was too late When a man's gettin' older Seems the young girls get bolder And temptations Are sometimes too great You gave me all kinds of reasons to stay But like the fool that I am I still walked away And it's a short walk From heaven to hell A few steps from an angel That loved me so well When I left I shook hands With the devil himself And it's a short walk From heaven to hell She was young I was foolish But I needed that young thing To tell me I could still turn her on What I took for affection Was just your reflection And that's where The whole thing went wrong 'Cause when the lovin' was over and done What I took for love She took for fun And it's a short walk From heaven to hell A few steps from an angel That loved me so well When I left I shook hands With the devil himself And it's a short walk From heaven to hell Yeah, it's a short walk from heaven to hell
