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
