Lone Star Blues
George Strait
Lone Star Blues Capo 2

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, heard he'd killed a couple of men
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 old bull just up an died, before they blew the whistle

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, an' the West Texas too
I've done all I know to do, tryin' to lose, 
Tryin' to lose these old Lone Star Blues

Well, I got laid off at Brown and Root, then on my way back to Cut 'N Shoot
I lost my wristwatch an' my boots, shootin' dice with a dude from Houston
Well, there ain't no jobs here workin' cattle, I got on part-time hauling gravel
With some outfit from Seattle, down here building custom homes

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, an' the West Texas too
I've done all I know to do, tryin' to lose, 
Tryin' to lose these old Lone Star Blues

Well I gassed my truck an' I packed my clothes, 
Turned in my key and I hit the road
I said Cow Town's where I'll go, you never know, I might get lucky
Well I got a friend there turnin' knobs, at a place called Billy Bob's
Said he thought he could get me a job there working as a bouncer
First night on the job was just insane, some old boy got all deranged
Hit me in the head with a Harley chain, to this day, my ears still ring

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, an' the West Texas too
I've done all I know to do, tryin' to lose, 
Tryin' to lose these old Lone Star Blues
