Ship My Body Back To Texas

Words & Music by

Ed Bruce and Baxter Black

- Chorus -

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

(Repeat Chorus)

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

(Repeat Chorus)

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

(Repeat Chorus)

Now, plant me in the parking lot outside the Astrodome

Or pushin' up the rose of San Antone

Mirror lyrics:

Or pushin' up the rose of San Antone

Now, plant me in the parking lot outside the Astrodome

(Repeat Chorus)

If I could find my way back home, I'd do it

'Cause one square mile of ocean looks just like the one next to it

Shipped aboard a freighter and I've seen more than seven seas

I spent my last ten dollars drinkin' rum down in the Keyes

(Repeat Chorus)

And you can't walk the streets of New York City

They're shuttin' down the motor town, the lights at night aren't pretty

But the nights are long and cold and lunch can cost a hundred bucks

I headed for Alaska, where I thought I'd change my luck

(Repeat Chorus)

But someone dug up all the gold in '49

I tried California where it's sunny all the time

Lookin' for some greener grass, I left my lone star home

Or pushin' up the rose of San Antone

I won't worry where they bury me, just put me in the mail

Ship my body back to Texas if I die out on the trail
