1
At a truck stop in San Angelo
2
I saw a billboard 'bout this rodeo
3
Last weekend out in El Paso
4
So I signed up to ride
5
I drew a bull called Original Sin
6
Heard he'd killed a couple of men
7
Figured this was somethin' I could win
8
'Cause the devil's on my side
9
I was havin' myself one hell of a ride
10
When I, I ended up disqualified
11
'Cause that danged old bull just up and died
12
Before they blew the whistle
13
When I got them North Texas blues
14
Thought, I'd paid all my dues
15
Then them South Texas blues
16
Told me, son you ain't through
17
Had them East Texas blues
18
And them West Texas too
19
I've done all I know to do
20
Tryin' to lose, tryin' to lose these lone star blues
21
I got laid off at Brown and Root
22
On my way back to Cut and Shoot
23
I lost my wristwatch and my boots
24
Shootin' dice with a dude from Houston
25
There ain't no jobs here workin' cattle
26
So I got on part time haulin' gravel
27
With some outfit from Seattle
28
Down here buildin' custom homes
29
When I got them North Texas blues
30
Thought, I'd paid all my dues
31
And then them South Texas blues
32
Told me son you ain't through
33
Had them East Texas blues
34
And them West Texas too
35
I've done all I know to do
36
Tryin' to lose, tryin' to lose these lone star blues, alright
37
I gassed up my truck and packed my clothes
38
Turned in my key and hit the road
39
I said, Cowtown's where I'll go
40
You never know I might get lucky
41
I got a friend there turning knobs
42
At this place called Billy Bob's
43
Said he could get me a job
44
There workin' as a bouncer
45
First night on the job was just insane
46
Some ol' boy got all deranged
47
Hit me in the head with a Harley chain
48
To this day my ears still ring
49
I got them North Texas blues
50
Thought, I'd paid all my dues
51
And them South Texas blues
52
Told me son you ain't through
53
Had them East Texas blues
54
And them West Texas too
55
I've done all I know to do
56
Tryin' to lose, tryin' to lose these lone star blues
57
I've done all I know to do
58
Tryin' to lose, tryin' to lose these lone star blues
