Lyrics:

I dreamed I was there in Hillbilly Heaven

Oh, what a beautiful sight

And I met all the stars in Hillbilly Heaven

Oh, what a star spangled night



Last night I dreamed I went to Hillbilly Heaven

And just as I arrived the old curtain lifted

And there on stage stood

Who else but Roy Acuff and Tex Ritter



They said, well, how you doing? Come on in here

I know there's some folks you wanna see

Over there's our newest member

Your old friend Conway Twitty, say hello, darlin'



And there's gentleman Jim Reeves

Singin' with heaven's choir

Roger Miller, he just got here

He's making everybody laugh



'Course you know Roy Orbison can sing

Just as high as anybody here

And Ernest Tubb can sing as low

And Patsy Cline, well, bet she's the best singin' angel here



And Dottie West is probably the prettiest

There's the old pea-picker, Ernie Ford

Jimmy Rodgers, George Morgan, Hank Williams

And the wandering boy, Web Pierce



The old honky tonker himself, Lefty Frizzell

My goodness, what a group

Would you just listen to Mother Mabel over there

Pickin' the 'Wildwood Flower' with the angel band?



You know I personally think she's just about God's favorite

And Marty Robbins, well, he's still gettin' more encores

Than anybody else up here

Just like he used to down on earth



Yeah, well there's Elvis, they still call him the king

But we know they're not talking

About the real king up here



I dreamed I went to Hillbilly Heaven

Oh, what a star studded night



Then I ask Roy and Tex, I said, well

Who do you think will be showin' up

Say within the next 40, 50, 60 years?



They handed me a big tally book and in it

I saw names like Johnny Cash

George Jones, Merle Haggard, Don Gibson

Mel Tillis, Farren Young, Kitty Wells



Some of the newer ones like Vince Gill and Garth Brooks

'Course they talked about Minnie Pearl

The Judds, Tanya Tucker, Reba McEntire, Hank Jr



Oh, of course, Buck Owens, Roy Rodgers

Gene Autry, Randy Travis and Willie Nelson

There's old Chet, I said, well

Where's Porter Wagoner's name? Oh, there it is



And then there was Loretta Lynn and Tammy Wynette

And Dolly Parton, ooh, that's when I woke up



I dreamed I was there in Hillbilly Heaven

Oh, what a beautiful sight

And I met all the stars in Hillbilly Heaven

Oh, what a star spangled night
