Chorus:
|
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
|
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, at least I'll know I'm home
|
|
(Repeat Chorus)
|
|
I'd ride through all of Hell and half of Texas
|
Just to hear Merle Haggard sing a country song
|
Beer just ain't as cold in old Milwaukee
|
My body's here, but my soul's in San Antone
|
|
(Repeat Chorus)
