Should I Perform This Song?

Just wrote a song, but not sure if it's got musical appeal. If I get enough interest, I'll make a youtube video of me playing it.

Here's how the song goes (this is a country song, btw):

I’ll Laugh At You From Heaven
By: Micah Rodney

I’ve dealt with many people who have filled my days with strife.
I been coping with the idiots who try to wreck my life.
But when I slip this mortal coil, I know this to be true.
A better life awaits me when I’m laughing down at you.

Chorus:
I’ll laugh at you from heaven as you’re burning down in hell.
Forget the harps, gimme a front row seat and I’ll be swell.
And while I sit up on Cloud Nine, knowing that all is well.
I’ll laugh at you from heaven as you’re burning down in hell.

That jerk who ran out on our lease, that guy who called me queer.
That dude who ran the red light and then rammed me in the rear.
That doctor who in surgery took away my sense of smell.
Things will be just so much better when I see them down in hell.

CHORUS.

Bridge:
I know this may seem petty and it’s certainly not nice.
Between us I know that I’ve got my own stockpile of vice.
And I’m sure that somebody else out there is ready to yell.
“I can’t wait to see that dumb old redneck burn in hell.”

(And he’ll say)

CHORUS x2

But it depends on how the melody plays, I suppose. DO IT.

I've got it in my head. Not 100% on how I'm gonna do the bridge, but I'll probably modulate to the relating minor and then modulate back in the third line at "there".

I have no problem making a fool of myself. It's practically my job.

It's your job? Cool!

Can I be your apprentice? And get paid an apprentice salary to make a fool of myself too?

Foolery 101. Of course the advanced course is Tomfoolery. Then there's Horseplay, Shenanigans, and my personal favorite, Falderal.
