Ed Bruce - When I Die, Just Let Me Go To Texas

Ed Bruce's song When I Die, Just Let Me Go To Texas is a proud and affectionate country tribute to Texas, sung from the angle of a cowboy who's not so sure about heaven, but knows where he belongs when it's all said and done. When I Die, Just Let Me Go To Texas mixes humor, homesickness and Texas pride, turning the southern state into a spiritual homeland: wide open, familiar and worthy of being the singer's final resting place. Written by Ed Bruce, Patsy Bruce and Bobby Borchers, When I Die, Just Let Me Go To Texas was first released by Ed Bruce in 1977 and his own version reached No. 52 on Billboard's Hot Country Singles chart, while Tanya Tucker later had the bigger hit with her version, "Texas (When I Die)," which reached No. 5. Musically it sits comfortably in Ed Bruce's rugged cowboy country lane with plainspoken, warm vocals and built around a strong sense of place as a personal declaration of identity. 📝 Ed Bruce When I Die, Just Let Me Go To Texas Lyrics: When I die, I may not go to heaven 'Cause I don't know if they let cowboys in If they don't, just let me go to Texas Texas is as close as I've been 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, at least I'll know I'm home When I die, I may not go to heaven 'Cause I don't know if they let cowboys in If they don't, just let me go to Texas Texas is as close as I've been 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 When I die, I may not go to heaven 'Cause I don't know if they let cowboys in If they don't, just let me go to Texas Texas is as close as I've been When I die, I may not go to heaven 'Cause I don't know if they let cowboys in If they don't, just let me go to Texas Texas is as close as I've been 👇 Follow Ed Bruce on his official music streaming sites:    / ed bruce - topic   https://open.spotify.com/artist/2iSim...   / ed-bruce   🎵 Enjoy more music from Cornerstone Recordings: Jim Reeves - This World Is Not My Home    • Jim Reeves - This World Is Not My Home   Marty Robbins - The Master's Call    • Marty Robbins - The Master's Call   Eddy Arnold - Cowpoke    • Eddy Arnold - Cowpoke   Mac Davis - It's Hard To Be Humble    • Mac Davis - It's Hard To Be Humble   Leroy Van Dyke - The Auctioneer    • Leroy Van Dyke - The Auctioneer   🎧 Listen to more of the best Folk Music Classics:    • Classic Folk Music (American Folk Music's ...   🛎 Subscribe to Cornerstone Recordings for more:    / @cornerstonerecordingsofficial   #EdBruce #WhenIDieJustLetMeGoToTexas #CowboyCountry #CountryCowboy #CountryMusic #CornerstoneRecordings
