Story Behind The Song

My Uncle Ronnie passed away and I was so broken hearted as was my father (they were very close) and I wanted to write a song to lighten our spirits.

Song Description

If you could ask somebody who'd passed away questions about heaven, what would you ask them?

Lyrics

I just gotta know
What it's like up there
If you'd only answer
I swear that I won't share
I know we always talked about
The way things used to be
How music used to be so simple
And all the people we'd like to meet

Chorus
SO tell me what's it like up there with the angels
Did you already get you a brand new pair of wings?
Do you talk to God, and does Jesus still wear sandals
And the most important thing I need to know
Tell me, what's it like to pick with Bill Monroe

I bet the Angels are always
getting into trouble
For sittin' around watchin' you and Bill pick and play
I can here that mandolin a singin'
and your bango just a rollin'
Awww that Bluegrass sure sounds so sweet
It'd chase the Devil away

Chorus

Lead

Chorus

So tell me does God really laugh at all our plans
And does every one really have a mansion
Does he really hold the whole world in his hands
And the most important thing I want to know
Uncle Ronnie, what's it like to play with Bill Monroe
