Karaoké Lone Star Blues George Strait

At a truck stop in San Angelo

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

Thinkin' this was somethin'

I could win 'cos 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 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 and 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

Oh play it boys

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 turnin' knobs at a place called Billy Bob's

Said he thought 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
