Lyrics:
HEAVEN HILL
(Julie Ferris - Robert Clay)
The bourbon business boomed today
Up on Heaven Hill.
The daddy of all fires
Burned the factory and the stills.
Big flaming barrels of whiskey
Shot up in the air
No one really knows for sure
They still might be there.
Life is sorry in Kentucky
Not a drop of booze around
It ricocheted to Heaven
When Heaven Hill went down.
One hundred crying firemen
Fought the blaze all night
Hell ain’t half as hot as when
Mash tanks full ignite.
Trailing lines of red hot bourbon
Flowed into the creeks
That ninety proof white lightning
Won’t burn off for weeks.
chorus
Folks raised their glass in Bardstown
Watching Heaven melt.
The sky rained Evan Williams whiskey
And they all got a belt.
chorus
