When I die, I may not go to heaven
Well, I don′t know if they let cowboys in
If they don'tJust let me go to Texas, boys
Texas is as close as I′ve been
New York couldn't hold my attention
Detroit City could not sing my song
If tomorrow finds me busted flat in Dallas
Well, I won't care
′Cause at least I′ll know I'm home
When I die
I may not go to heaven
Well, 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
I'm coming Willam
Ooh, lord
I′d ride through all of Hell and half of Texas
Just to hear Merle Haggard sing a country song
Well, the beer just ain't as cold in old Milwaukee
My body's here
But my soul′s in San Antoine
When I die, I may not go to heaven
Well, I don′t know if they let cowboys in
If they don't
Just let me go to Texas
Texas is as close as I′ve been
When I die, well, I may not go to heaven lord
Well, 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, well I may not go to heaven
Well, I don′t know if they let cowboys in
If they don't
Just let me go to Texas, yeah
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
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
