[00:11.76] |
At a truck stop in San Angelo |
[00:14.70] |
I saw a billboard about this rodeo |
[00:16.95] |
This weekend out in El Paso |
[00:19.82] |
So I signed up to ride |
[00:23.82] |
I drew a bull called Original Sin |
[00:26.20] |
I heard he'd killed a couple of men |
[00:29.07] |
Thinkin' this was somethin' I could win |
[00:31.71] |
Cause the devil was on my side |
[00:35.97] |
I was havin' myself one hell of a ride |
[00:39.00] |
But I ended up disqualified |
[00:42.24] |
That old bull just up and died |
[00:44.63] |
Before they blew the whistle |
[00:48.06] |
With them north Texas blues |
[00:50.51] |
Thought I'd paid all my dues |
[00:53.39] |
Then them south Texas blues |
[00:55.98] |
Told me son you ain't through |
[00:59.10] |
Had the east Texas blues |
[01:01.46] |
And the west Texas too |
[01:04.20] |
I've done all I know to do |
[01:06.85] |
Tryin' to lose, tryin' to lose |
[01:11.00] |
These old lone star blues |
[01:25.62] |
Well I got laid off at Brown & Root |
[01:28.32] |
Then on my way back to Cut & Shoot |
[01:31.00] |
I lost my wristwatch and my boots |
[01:33.50] |
Shootin' dice with a dude from Houston |
[01:37.72] |
Well there ain't no jobs here workin' cattle |
[01:40.30] |
So I got on part time haulin' gravel |
[01:42.98] |
With some outfit from Seattle |
[01:46.04] |
Down here buildin' custom homes |
[01:50.05] |
With them north Texas blues |
[01:52.62] |
Thought I'd paid all my dues |
[01:55.41] |
Then them south Texas blues |
[01:58.27] |
Told me son you ain't through |
[02:01.22] |
Had the east Texas blues |
[02:03.32] |
And the west Texas too |
[02:06.09] |
I've done all I know to do |
[02:08.81] |
Tryin' to lose, tryin' to lose |
[02:13.06] |
These old lone star blues |
[02:41.06] |
Well I gassed my truck and I packed my clothes |
[02:43.98] |
Turned in the key and hit the road |
[02:46.52] |
I said Cowtown's where I'll go |
[02:49.26] |
You never know I might get lucky |
[02:53.34] |
Well I got a friend there turning knobs |
[02:56.10] |
At a place called Billy Bob's |
[02:58.76] |
Said he could get me a job there |
[03:01.46] |
Workin' as a bouncer |
[03:05.39] |
First night on the job was just insane |
[03:08.00] |
Some ol' boy got all deranged |
[03:10.89] |
Hit me in the head with a Harley chain |
[03:13.45] |
To this day my ears still ring |
[03:18.00] |
With them north Texas blues |
[03:20.30] |
Thought I'd paid all my dues |
[03:22.94] |
Then them south Texas blues |
[03:25.49] |
Told me son you ain't through |
[03:28.79] |
Had the east Texas blues |
[03:30.90] |
And the west Texas too |
[03:33.69] |
I've done all I know to do |
[03:36.38] |
Tryin' to lose, tryin' to lose |
[03:40.75] |
These old lone star blues |
[03:44.66] |
I've done all I know to do |
[03:47.28] |
Tryin' to lose, tryin' to lose |
[03:51.51] |
These old lone star blues |
