Texas When I Die by Tanya Tucker Lyrics

[Chorus:]
When I die
I may not go to heaven
Well, I don't know if they let cowboys in
If they don't
Just let me go to Texas, boys
Texas is as close as I've been

[Verse 1:]
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
Cause at least I'll know I'm home

[Repeat Chorus:]

[Verse 2:]
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 x4:]
