Jerry Goldstein - Texas (When I Die) lyrics

[Chorus:] When I die I may not go to heaven Well, I don't know if they let cowboys in If they don't Just let me go to Texas, boys Texas is as close as I've been [Verse 1:] New York couldn't hold my attention Detroit City could not sing my song If tomorrow finds me busted flat in Dallas Well, I won't care Cause at least I'll know I'm home [Repeat Chorus:] [Verse 2:] I'd ride through all of Hell And half of Texas Just to hear Merle Haggard sing a country song Beer just ain't as cold in old Milwaukee My body's here But my soul's in San Antone [Repeat Chorus x4:]
