Texas When I Die

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)
