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
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/e/ed+bruce/texas+when+i+die_20585617.html ]
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)
