"Take Me To Texas" lyrics

Well, I've lived here for ten years but it ain't where I'm from
These new roots that I've planted ain't as deep as the ones
That raised me, that made me proud to the bone
So when the good Lord calls me home

Don't bury me in Tennessee
Lay me underneath blue skies and blue bonnets
On the edge of town in a patch of ground
By a stone with my grandma's name on it
When you lay me to rest
Won't you do it out west
My last request is
Take me to Texas

Well, I'll always think George Strait sounds like growing up
And say "how 'bout them Cowboys" and swear this year's the one
I love a dive bar, a cold lone star and a good rodeo
I wanna kick up red dirt when I go

So don't bury me in Tennessee
Lay me underneath blue skies and blue bonnets
On the edge of town in a patch of ground
By a stone with my grandma's name on it
When you lay me to rest
Won't you do it out west
My last request is
Take me to Texas
Take me to Texas

Even when we'll get to Heaven
Hell, I'll still be a Texan

Don't bury me in Tennessee
Lay me underneath blue skies and blue bonnets
On the edge of town in a patch of ground
By a stone with my grandma's name on it
When you lay me to rest
Won't you do it out west
My last request is
Take me to Texas
Take me to Texas
Take me to Texas
