Texas (When I Die) - Lyrics - Tanya Tucker

Tanya Denise Tucker is an American female country music artist who had her first hit, "Delta Dawn", in 1972 at the age of 13. Over the succeeding decades, Tucker became one of the few child performers to mature into adulthood without losing her audience, and during the course of her career, she notched a streak of Top 10 and Top 40 hits. She has had several successful albums, several Country Music Association award nominations, and hit songs such as 1973's "What's Your Mama's Name?" and "Blood Red and Goin' Down," 1975's "Lizzie and the Rainman," and 1988's "Strong Enough to Bend".

When I die I may not go to heaven I don't know if they let cowboys in If they don't just let me go to Texas, Boy! Texas is as close as I've been. New York couldn't hold my attention Detroit City couldn't sing my song If tomorrow finds me busted flat in Dallas I won't care, 'cause at least I'll know I'm home. When I die I may not go to heaven I don't know if they let cowboys in If they don't just let me go to Texas, Boy! Texas is as close as I've been. 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. When I die I may not go to heaven I don't know if they let cowboys in If they don't just let me go to Texas, Boy! Texas is as close as I've been. When I die I may not go to heaven I don't know if they let cowboys in If they don't just let me go to Texas, Boy! Texas is as close as I've been.
