When I die, I may not go to heaven
I don't know if they'll let cowboys in
If they don't, just let me go to Texas
Cause Texas is as close as I've been
And Detroit City could not sing my song
If tomorrow finds me busted down in Dallas
cause at least I know I'm home
So when I die, I may not go to heaven
I don't know if they'll let cowboys in
Cause Texas is as close as I've
Well, I've been right through all hell,
Just to hear old Willie sing
but my soul's in San Antone
When I die, may not go to heaven
I don't know if they'll let cowboys in
If they don't, just let me go to Texas
Cause Texas is as close as I've been
When I die I may not go to heaven
I don't know if they'll let cowboys in
Cause Texas is as close as I've been
Yeah, Texas is as close as I've been you
