Well, I don't know if they let cowboys in
When I die I may not go to Heaven
When I die, well, I may not go to Heaven, no
'Cause Texas is as close as I've been
If they don't just let me go to Texas, boy
Well, I don't know if they let cowboys in
'Cause Texas is as close as I've been
If they don't just let me go to Texas, boy
If they don't just let me go to Texas, boy
'Cause Texas is as close as I've been
When I die, I may not go to Heaven
If they don't just let me go to Texas, boy
Just to hear Willie Nelson sing a country song
When I die, well, I may not go to Heaven
My body's here, but my soul's in San Antone
If they don't just let me go to Texas, boy
I'd ride through all of Hell and half of Texas
'Cause Texas is as close as I've been
If they don't just let me go to Texas
If they don't just let me go to Texas, boys
If tomorrow finds me busted flat in Dallas
'Cause Texas is as close as I've been
Well, I don't know if they let cowboys in
'Cause Texas is as close as I've been
If they don't just let me go to Texas, boy
Well, I don't know if they let cowboys in
Detroit City couldn't sing my song
New York couldn't hold my attention
When I die, if, I may not go to Heaven, no
Well, I don't know if they let cowboys in
When I die, well, I may not go to Heaven
Beer just ain't as cold in old Milwaukee
Well, I won't care, 'cause at least I'll know I'm home
Well, I don't know if they let cowboys in
When I die I may not go to Heaven
'Cause Texas is as close as I've been
'Cause Texas is as close as I've been
Well, I don't know if they let cowboys in
When I die, if, I may not go to Heaven, no
