You were God's best creation, but I didn't know what I had, 'til it was, too late. When a man's getting older, seems the young girls get bolder and temptation, is sometimes, too great. You gave me all kinds, of reasons, to stay. But like the fool that I am, I still walked away.

Chorus: And it's a short walk, from heaven, to hell. A few steps from an angel, that loved me so well. And 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.

Chorus: And it's a short walk, from heaven, to hell. A few steps from an angel, that loved me so well. And 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.
