(Ed Bruce/Bobby Borchers/Patsy Bruce)
When I die I may not go to heaven
I don`t know if they let cowboys in
If they don`t just let me go to Texas, Boy!
Texas is as close as I`ve been.
New York couldn`t hold my attention
Detroit City couldn`t sing my song
If tomorrow finds me busted flat in Dallas
I won`t care, `cause at least I`ll know I`m home.
When I die I may not go to heaven
I don`t know if they let cowboys in
If they don`t just let me go to Texas, Boy!
Texas is as close as I`ve been.
I`d ride through all of Hell and half of Texas
Just to hear Willie Nelson sing a country song
Beer just ain`t as cold in old Milwaukee
My body`s here, but my soul`s in San Antone.
When I die I may not go to heaven
I don`t know if they let cowboys in
If they don`t just let me go to Texas, Boy!
Texas is as close as I`ve been.
When I die I may not go to heaven
I don`t know if they let cowboys in
If they don`t just let me go to Texas, Boy!
Texas is as close as I`ve been.
