st FRET  KEY: Bb  PLAY: A 
When I A die I may not go to D heaven 
A I don't know if E they let cowboys A in 
If they don't just let me go to D Texas, Boy! 
A Texas is as E close as I've A been. 
 
New York couldn't hold my at-{D} tention 
A Detroit City E couldn't sing my A song 
If tomorrow finds me busted flat in D Dallas 
I won't A care, 'cause at E least I'll know I'm A home. 
 
CHORUS 
 
I'd ride through all of Hell and half of Texas 
Just to hear Willie Nelson sing a country song 
Beer just ain't as cold in old Milwaukee 
My body's here, but my soul's in San Antone.
