[Intro]
D
[Verse 1]
D G At a truck stop in San Angelo, I saw a billboard about this rodeo A D This weekend out in El Paso, so I signed up to ride G I drew a bull called Original Sin, heard he'd killed a couple of men A D Figured this was somethin' I could win, 'cause the devil was on my side D G I was havin' myself one hell of a ride, but I ended up disqualified A D That old bull just up an died, before they blew the whistle
[Chorus]
D G With them North Texas blues, thought I'd paid all my dues A D Then them South Texas blues, told me son you ain't through D G Had the East Texas blues, an' the West Texas too A I've done all I know to do, tryin’ to lose, D A D Tryin’ to lose these old Lone Star Blues
[Verse 2]
D G Well, I got laid off at Brown and Root, then on my way back to Cut 'N Shoot A D I lost my wristwatch an' my boots, shootin' dice with a dude from Houston D G Well, there ain't no jobs here workin' cattle, I got on part-time hauling gravel A D With some outfit from Seattle, down here building custom homes
[Chorus]
D G With them North Texas blues, thought I'd paid all my dues A D Then them South Texas blues, told me son you ain't through D G Had the East Texas blues, an' the West Texas too A I've done all I know to do, tryin’ to lose, D D G A D D G A D Tryin’ to lose these old Lone Star Blues
[Verse 3]
D Well I gassed my truck an' I packed my clothes, G Turned in my key and I hit the road A D I said Cow Town's where I'll go, you never know, I might get lucky D G Well I got a friend there turnin' knobs, at a place called Billy Bob's A D Said he thought he could get me a job there working as a bouncer D G First night on the job was just insane, some old boy got all deranged A D Hit me in the head with a Harley chain, to this day, my ears still ring
[Chorus]
D G With them North Texas blues, thought I'd paid all my dues A D Then them South Texas blues, told me son you ain't through D G Had the East Texas blues, an' the West Texas too A I've done all I know to do, tryin’ to lose, D Tryin’ to lose these old Lone Star Blues
