I've been up, tore down, things I've been through And the angels won't take me…away And I've talked to St. Peter, he won't let me pass So it looks like I'm going today. So lets have a party and tell 'em I'm home There'll be Waylon and Whitley as well And The Devil will be dealing' the cards as they lay So let's have a party in hell Washed up, worn out, down on my knees But the angels won't take me…away The bartender serves brown liquor in hell And that sure sounds like heaven to me So lets have a party and tell 'em I'm home There'll be Janis and Jim Beam as well And Rick James will bring all the cocaine you want So let's have a party in hell So lets have a party and tell 'em we're home They'll be no-show and Junior and merle And Jamey Johnson will be drinkin' from a brown paper bag So lets have a party in hell
