Artist/Band: George Strait
Lyrics for Song: Lone Star Blues
Lyrics for Album: Here for a Good Time [2011]



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

I heard he'd killed a couple of men

Thinkin' 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



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

And 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 & Root

Then on my way back to Cut and Shoot

I lost my wristwatch and my boots

Shootin' dice with a dude from Houston



Well there 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



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

And 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 and I packed my clothes

Turned in the key and hit the road

I said Cowtown's where I'll go

You never know I might get lucky



Well I got a friend there turning knobs

At a place called Billy Bob's

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



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

And the west Texas too

I've done all I know to do

Tryin' to lose, tryin' to lose

These old lone star blues



I've done all I know to do

Tryin' to lose, tryin' to lose

These old lone star blues
