Well, I don't know if they let cowboys in
'Cause Texas is as close as I've been
'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
When I die, if, I may not go to Heaven, no
'Cause Texas is as close as I've been
Well, I don't know if they let cowboys in
If they don't just let me go to Texas, boy
Well, I won't care, 'cause at least I'll know I'm home
When I die I may not go to Heaven
When I die, well, I may not go to Heaven, no
When I die 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
'Cause Texas is as close as I've been
New York couldn't hold my attention
Just to hear Willie Nelson sing a country song
If they don't just let me go to Texas, boy
Detroit City couldn't sing my song
If they don't just let me go to Texas
When I die, I may not go to Heaven
Well, I don't know if they let cowboys in
Beer just ain't as cold in old Milwaukee
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
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
'Cause Texas is as close as I've been
If they don't just let me go to Texas, boy
'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, boys
When I die, well, I may not go to Heaven
When I die, if, I may not go to Heaven, no
If they don't just let me go to Texas, boy
If they don't just let me go to Texas, boy
