George Strait
lone star blues
At a truck stop in st angeloSaw a bill board about this rodeo
This weekend out in el paso
So I signed up to ride
I drew a bull called â??original sinâ?
Heard heâ??d killed a couple of men
Figured this was something I could win
Cause the devil was on my side
I was havinâ?? myself one hell of a ride
But I ended up disqualified
That bull just up and died
Before they blew the whistle
With those north texas blues,
Thought id paid all my dues
Then those south texas blues,
Told me â??son, you ainâ??t throughâ?
Had the east texas blues and the west texas too
Iâ??ve done all I know to do,
Tryin to lose, tryin to lose,
These olâ?? lone star blues.
Well I got laid off at brown and root
Then on my way back to cut'n'shoot
I lost my wrist watch and my boots
Shootinâ?? dice with a dude from houston
Well there ainâ??t no jobs here workinâ?? cattle
So I got on the part time haulinâ?? gravel
With some outfit from seattle out here building custom homes
Well I gassed my truck and I packed my clothes
Turned in my key and I hit the road
I said â??cow townâ??s where Iâ??ll go,
You never know, I might get lucky!â?
Well I got a friend there turning knobs
At a place called billy bobs
Said thought he could get me a job there
Workinâ?? as a bouncer
First night on the job was just insane
Some olâ?? boy got all deranged
Hit me in the head with a harley chain
To this day, my ears still ring!
Iâ??ve done all I know to do,
Tryin to lose, tryin to lose
These olâ?? lone star blues
