At a truck stop in St AngeloSaw a bill board about this rodeoThis weekend out in El PasoSo I signed up to rideI drew a bull called "original sin"Heard he'd killed a couple of menFigured this was something I could win'Cause the devil was on my sideI was havin' myself one hell of a rideBut I ended up disqualifiedThat bull just up and diedBefore they blew the whistle[Chorus]With those north Texas blues,Thought I'd paid all my duesThen those south Texas blues,Told me "son, you ain't through"Had the east Texas blues and the west Texas tooI've done all I know to do,Tryin' to lose, tryin' to lose,These ol' Lone Star Blues.Well I got laid off at Brown and RueThen on my way back to cuttin' chuteI lost my wrist watch and my bootsShootin' dice with a dude from HoustonWell there ain't no jobs here workin' cattleSo I got on the part time haulin' gravelWith some outfit from Seattle out here building custom homes[Chorus]Well I gassed my truck and I packed my clothesTurned in my key and I hit the roadI said "cow town's where I'll go,You never know, I might get lucky!"Well I got a friend there turning knobsAt a place called Billy BobsSaid thought he could get me a job thereWorkin' as a bouncerFirst night on the job was just insaneSome ol' boy got all derangedHit me in the head with a Harley chainTo this day, my ears still ring![Chorus]I've done all I know to do,Tryin' to lose, tryin' to loseThese ol' Lone Star blues
