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