Texas When I Die Lyrics

Words & Music by



Bobby Borchers, Ed Bruce & Patsy Bruce











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)
