Stopped into a church, Friday afternoon.
Bent down at the alter, no one was around.
Looked up at the Cross, I really don't know you well.
I came here for a favor, I could think of no one else.
So if you have a minute, to hear a heartfelt plea...
I won't become a pest, this is all I really need.

V2
I'll fight out wars, wherever country calls.
I'll do honest work, in any corner of the earth.
I'll respect all good people in all the lands I cross.
But I beg one great favor in exchange for any cost.

C
Lemme die in Texas, lay me down in Texas earth.
Throw Texas dirt on me, bluebonnets by my tomb.
When I leave this world, let the portal I go through.,,
Be big Texas sky colored Loan Star blue.

Lemme die in Texas, wherever else life leads.

V3
Momma talks of Grand dad, died before I's born,
sometime before sunrise, on a West Texas farm.
I know he's up in heaven, smiling on my song.
When I go to meet him, wanna leave through Texas ground.
Lemme die in Texas, wherever else life leads.

C

V4
I hear people say, its just another state.
What's all thiss about Texas, makes Texas all that great.
From Houston's highest highrise, to the cook at Dairy Queen.
We all know we're Texans, we all know what that means.

So let us die in Texas, wherever else life leads.

C

Let me die in Texas, I beg on bended knees.
