Texas When I Die Lyrics - Ed Bruce

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)
