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
Heard he'd killed
A couple o' men
Figured this is
Somethin' I could win
Cause the devil's
On my side
I was a havin' myself
One ******* ride
When I ended
Up disqualified
Cause that danged
Ol' bull just
Up and died
Before they
Blew the whistle
Well I got them
North Texas blues
Thought I'd
Paid all my dues
An' them
South Texas blues
Told me
Son you ain't thru
An' them
East Texas blues
And the
West Texas too
I done all I know
To do tryin' to lose
Tryin' to lose
These Lone Star blues
I got laid off
At Brown and Root
On my way back
To cuttin shoot
I lost my wristwatch
And my boots
Shootin' dice with
A dude from Houston
They 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
Well I got them
North Texas blues
Thought I'd
Paid all my dues
An' them
South Texas blues
Told me son
You ain't thru
An' them
East Texas blues
And them
West Texas too
I done all
I know to do
Tryin' to lose
Tryin' to lose
These Lone Star blues
Alright
I gassed up my truck
An' I packed my clothes
Turned in my key
An' I hit the road
I said Cow Town's
Where I'll go
You never know
I might get lucky
I got a friend there
Turnin' knobs
At this place called
Billy Bob's
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
I got them
North Texas blues
Thought I'd
Paid all my dues
An' them
South Texas blues
Told me son
You ain't thru
An' them
East Texas blues
And them
West Texas too
I done all
I know to do
Tryin' to lose
Tryin' to lose
These Lone Star blues
I done all
I know to do
Tryin' to lose
Tryin' to lose
These Lone Star blues
