'''"Everybody Wants to Go to Heaven"''' is a [[country music]] song co-written by American songwriters [[Jim Collins (singer)|Jim Collins]] and Marty Dodson. The song was initially to have been recorded by singer [[George Strait]] for his 2008 album ''[[Troubadour (George Strait album)|Troubadour]]'', but after Strait decided not to include the song on this album, it was recorded by [[Kenny Chesney]] instead. Released in August 2008, Chesney's rendition is his thirty-eighth [[Hot Country Songs|Top 40]] country hit<!--counting "Hey Good Looking" but excluding album cuts--> and his fifteenth Number One hit. It is also the lead-off single to his forthcoming tenth studio album ''Lucky Old Sun'', which will be released on his own Blue Chair label in association with [[BNA Records]].

==Reception==
==Blocks==
Matt C., a reviewer for the country music blog The 9513, gave "Everybody Wants to Go to Heaven" a "thumbs down" rating. Although his review makes note of the song's "carefree sentiment that characterizes standards like 'Live Fast, Love Hard, Die Young'", he also goes on to say that the calypso orchestration "truly does not belong", making it "patently offensive".<ref name="the9513"/>


Alison Bonaguro, who contributes to the blog for the television network [[CMT]], gave the song a more positive review. Although she referred to the instrumentation as "not-so-country", she felt favorably about the song's sentiment, comparing it to [[Tim McGraw]]'s "[[Live Like You Were Dying (song)|Live Like You Were Dying]]", but without a "preachy feel".<ref name="cmtblog"/>
