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