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, Cause Texas is as close as I've been New York couldn't hold my attention Detroit City couldn't sing my song If tomorrow finds me busted flat in Dallas I won't care, 'cause at least I'll know I'm home. 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, Cause Texas is as close as I've been. I'd ride through all of Hell and half of Texas Just to hear some steel guitar and a cowboy song And the beer just ain't as cold in old Milwaukee My body's here, but my soul's in San Antone 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, Cause 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, Cause Texas is as close as I've been.
