Texas (When I Die) (1990 "Encore" Version)

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

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

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

All coming well
Ooh, boys
Ooh-ooh

I'd ride through all of Hell and half of Texas
Just to hear Merle Haggard sing a country song
Well, 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
Well, 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

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, y'all
Texas is as close as I've been

When I die, well, 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
Texas is as close as I've been

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
Texas is as close as I've been, yeah

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
Texas is as close as I've been
