Take Me Back to Texas |
| If something should happen to me, heaven forbid |
| I’m only gonna make this one request |
| No matter how long it takes you, no matter how far |
| Promise me you’ll grant my wish and cross your heart |
| When it comes to where I want my memory |
| There’s only one place on earth I see |
| Promise me you’ll take me back to Texas |
| And bury me beneath that old oak tree |
| On the bank beside the creek I used to fish in |
| And I can be beside the boy I used to be |
| Promise me you’ll take me back to Texas |
| It’s the only place I know I’ll rest in peace |
| Now, don’t you go worrying about me, don’t trouble your soul |
| If something was wrong you’d be the first to know |
| No, you ain’t gonna lose me baby as long as I breathe |
| Where you are is where I’m gonna be |
| But when the Lord decides that I’m ready |
| I just want you to make sure I get home |
| Promise me you’ll take me back to Texas |
| And bury me beneath that old oak tree |
| On the bank beside the creek I used to dream on |
| And I can be beside the boy I used to be |
| Promise me you’ll take me back to Texas |
| It’s the only place I know I’ll rest in peace |
| Heaven knows my soul belongs in Texas |
| It’s the only place I know I’ll rest in peace |
