"Texas (When I Die) (Live)" lyrics
(originally by Ed Bruce)
When I die, I may not go to Heaven
'Cause I don't know if they let cowboys in
If they don't just let me go to Texas, boys
'Cause 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
'Cause I don't know if they let cowboys in
If they don't just let me go to Texas, boys
'Cause Texas is as close as I've been, yeah
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 heart's in San Antone
When I die, I may not go to Heaven
'Cause I don't know if they let cowboys in
If they don't just let me go to Texas, boys
'Cause Texas is as close as I've been, yeah
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, boys
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, boys
Texas is as close as I've been
'Cause I don't know if they let cowboys in
If they don't just let me go to Texas, boys
'Cause 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
'Cause I don't know if they let cowboys in
If they don't just let me go to Texas, boys
'Cause Texas is as close as I've been, yeah
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 heart's in San Antone
When I die, I may not go to Heaven
'Cause I don't know if they let cowboys in
If they don't just let me go to Texas, boys
'Cause Texas is as close as I've been, yeah
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, boys
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, boys
Texas is as close as I've been
