lyrics

Let’s All Up and Go There
words and music by John Allee

Let’s all up and go there when we die
Just like all the times you tell me to when I make you cry
Let’s all up and go there when we die
Let’s all up and go there like you say
I hear the booze and the music are better down there anyway
So, let’s all up and go there like you say

It takes a lot of envy
It takes a lot of pride
It takes a lot of greedy bastard
Just to get inside
But, let’s all up and go there side by side

I got my pride and my worst ways in those rodeo days
I got my envy, don’t ya see, from these shiny things in front of me
And greedy, I just come by naturally

So, let’s all up and go there when we die
Just like all my so called friends who hung me out to dry
Let’s all up and go there when we die
 
Let’s all up and go there when we go
The bouncer at the gate is this insurance guy I used to know
Let’s all up and go there when we go

Still got a lot to live for, though
Still got a lot to do
Still got a lot of hearts to break before my time is through
But let’s all up and go there, just us two

I got my pride and my worst ways in those rodeo days
I got my envy, don’t ya see, from these shiny things in front of me
And greedy, I just come by naturally

So, let’s all up and go there when we die
Just like that ol’ boy Lucifer who fell down from the sky
Let’s all up and go there when we die
Let’s all up and go there
They say it doesn’t snow there
Let’s all up and go there when we die
