Texas (When I Die) - Live From The Troubadour / October 2019

You guys know where I'm from now, don't you?

When I die, I may not go to heaven
When I don't know if they let cowboys in
And if they don't just let me go to Texas
'Cause Texas is as close as I've been

When New York couldn't hold my attention
Detroit City couldn't 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

When I die, I may not go to heaven
Well, I don't know if they let cowboys in
And if they don't just let me go to Texas, boys
'Cause Texas is as close as I've been

Little Andy on the lead guitar
Just graduated eighth grade

Here's Jefferson on the keys
Jefferson's been with me probably the longest, all the boys got a group together

Here's my Canadian boy, Mister Brian Three, back on the acoustic
He plays a little banjo and the mandolin every now and then

Here's Jake on the fiddle

Ugh, here's Dino on the bass guitar
And not just any bass, the five-string bass

Here's Mike on the drums

I love the little boys in the band y'all

I'd ride through all of Hell and half of Texas
Just to hear Midland sing a country song
Well, the beer just ain't as cold in old Milwaukee
My body's here, and my soul's in San Antone

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
'Cause Texas is as close as I've been

How 'bout you help us out here
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, y'all
'Cause Texas is as close as I've been

When I die, well, I may not go to heaven
Well, I don't know if they'll let my cowboys in
If they don't just let me go to Texas
'Cause Texas is as close as I've been

Where?
Yo, L.A. is as close as we've been
