party in hell

i've been hard up and torn down

the 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 let's 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

and washed up

and worn down

and down on my knees

the angels won't take me. away

the bartender only serves brown liquor in hell

and that sure sounds like heaven to me

so let's 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 let's have a party and tell 'em we're home

there'll be no-show and junior and merle

and jamey johnson will be drinkin' from a brown paper bag

so let's have a party in hell
