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.
I heard he'd killed a couple of men
I 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 danged old bull just up and died
Before they blew the whistle.

When I got them north Texas blues,
Thought I'd paid all my dues
Then them south Texas blues
Told me, son, you ain't through!
Had them east Texas blues
And them west Texas too.
I've done all I know to do
Tryin' to lose, tryin' to lose
These lone star blues.

Got laid off at Brown & Root,
Then on my way back to Cut and Shoot
Lost my wristwatch and my boots
Shootin' dice with a dude from Houston.

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.

When I got them north Texas blues,
Thought I'd paid all my dues.
Then them south Texas blues
Told me, son, you ain't through!
Had them east Texas blues
And them west Texas too
I've done all I know to do
Tryin' to lose, tryin' to lose,
These lone star blues.

I gassed my truck and packed my clothes,
Turned in my key, and hit the road.
I said Cowtown's where I'll go
You never know I might get lucky!

I got a friend there turning k___s
At a place called Billy Bob's.
He 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.

When I got them north Texas blues,
Thought I'd paid all my dues.
Then them south Texas blues
Told me, son, you ain't through!
Had them east Texas blues
And them west Texas too.
I've done all I know to do
Tryin' to lose, tryin' to lose
These lone star blues.
