Lyric Texas When I Die

(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.
