Lone Star Blues |
| At a truck stop in San Angelo |
| I saw a billboard 'bout this rodeo |
| Last 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 |
| I figured this was somethin' I could win |
| Cause the devil was on my side |
| I was havin' myself one hell of a ride |
| But I ended up disqualified |
| That danged old bull just up and died |
| Before they blew the whistle |
| When I got them north Texas blues |
| Thought I’d paid all my dues |
| Then them south Texas blues |
| Told me son you ain’t through |
| Had them east Texas blues |
| And them west Texas too |
| I’ve done all I know to do |
| Tryin' to lose, tryin' to lose |
| These lone star blues |
| Got laid off at Brown & Root |
| Then on my way back to Cut and Shoot |
| Lost my wristwatch and my boots |
| Shootin' dice with a dude from Houston |
| Ain’t no jobs here workin' cattle |
| So I got on part time haulin' gravel |
| With some outfit from Seattle |
| Down here buildin' custom homes |
| When I got them north Texas blues |
| Thought I’d paid all my dues |
| Then them south Texas blues |
| Told me son you ain’t through |
| Had them east Texas blues |
| And them west Texas too |
| I’ve done all I know to do |
| Tryin' to lose, tryin' to lose |
| These lone star blues |
| Gassed my truck and packed my clothes |
| Turned in my key and hit the road |
| I said Cowtown’s where I’ll go |
| You never know I might get lucky |
| Got a friend there turning knobs |
| At a place called Billy Bob’s |
| He said he could get me a job there |
| Workin' as a bouncer |
| First night on the job was just insane |
| Some ol' boy got all deranged |
| Hit me in the head with a Harley chain |
| To this day my ears still ring |
| When I got them north Texas blues |
| Thought I’d paid all my dues |
| Then them south Texas blues |
| Told me son you ain’t through |
| Had them east Texas blues |
| And them west Texas too |
| I’ve done all I know to do |
| Tryin' to lose, tryin' to lose |
| These lone star blues |
