Lone Star Blues Lyrics

[Verse 1]
At a truck stop in San Angelo
I saw a billboard about this rodeo
This weekend out in El Paso
So I signed up to ride
I drew a bull called Original Sin
I heard he'd killed a couple of men
Thinking this was something I could win
'Cause the devil was on my side
I was having myself one hell of a ride
But I ended up disqualified
That old bull just up and died
Before they blew the whistle

[Chorus]
With them north Texas blues, thought I'd paid all my dues
Then them south Texas blues told me "Son, you ain't through"
Had the east Texas blues and the west Texas too
I've done all I know to do trying to lose
Trying to lose these old lone star blues

[Verse 2]
Well I got laid off at Brown & Root
Then on my way back to Cut and Shoot
I lost my wristwatch and my boots
Shooting dice with a dude from Houston
Well there ain't no jobs here working cattle
So I got on part time hauling gravel
With some outfit from Seattle
Down here building custom homes

[Chorus]
With them north Texas blues, thought I'd paid all my dues
Then them south Texas blues told me "Son, you ain't through"
Had the east Texas blues and the west Texas too
I've done all I know to do trying to lose
Trying to lose these old lone star blues

[Verse 3]
Well I gassed my truck and I packed my clothes
Turned in the key and hit the road
I said Cowtown's where I'll go
You never know, I might get lucky
Well I got a friend there turning knobs
At a place called Billy Bob's
Said he could get me a job there
Working as a bouncer
First night on the job was just insane
Some ole boy got all deranged
Hit me in the head with a Harley chain
To this day, my ears still ring

[Chorus]
With them north Texas blues, thought I'd paid all my dues
Then them south Texas blues told me "Son, you ain't through"
Had the east Texas blues and the west Texas too
I've done all I know to do trying to lose
Trying to lose these old lone star blues

[Outro]
I've done all I know to do trying to lose
Trying to lose these old lone star blues
