Ship My Body Back To Texas Songtext

Ship my body back to Texas if I die out on the trail I won't worry where they bury me, just put me in the mail Lay me down in cowtown where I'll never be alone Or pushin' up the rose of San Antone Lookin' for some greener grass, I left my lone star home Put my trust in wanderlust, struck out for parts unknown I tried California where it's sunny all the time But someone dug up all the gold in '49 Ship my body back to Texas if I die out on the trail I won't worry where they bury me, just put me in the mail Lay me down in cowtown where I'll never be alone Or pushin' up the rose of San Antone I headed for Alaska, where I thought I'd change my luck But the nights are long and cold and lunch can cost a hundred bucks They're shuttin' down the motor town, the lights at night aren't pretty And you can't walk the streets of New York City Ship my body back to Texas if I die out on the trail I won't worry where they bury me, just put me in the mail Lay me down in cowtown where I'll never be alone Or pushin' up the rose of San Antone I spent my last ten dollars drinkin' rum down in the Keyes Shipped aboard a freighter and I've seen more than seven seas 'Cause one square mile of ocean looks just like the one next to it If I could find my way back home, I'd do it Ship my body back to Texas if I die out on the trail I won't worry where they bury me, just put me in the mail Lay me down in cowtown where I'll never be alone Or pushin' up the rose of San Antone Now, plant me in the parking lot outside the Astrodome Or pushin' up the rose of San Antone
