Lone Star Blues

D

[Verse 1]
    D                              
At a truck stop in San Angelo, I 
   G
saw a billboard about this rodeo
     A                           
This weekend out in El Paso, so I 
             D
signed up to ride
I drew a bull called Original Sin, 
          G
heard he'd killed a couple of men
                A                  
Figured this was somethin' I could 
                               D
win, 'cause the devil was on my side
     D                           
I was havin' myself one hell of a 
            G
ride, but I ended up disqualified
    A                         
That old bull just up an died, 
                     D
before they blew the whistle


[Chorus]
         D                         
With them North Texas blues, 
     G
thought I'd paid all my dues
         A                         
Then them South Texas blues, told 
               D
me son you ain't through
       D                         G
Had the East Texas blues, an' the 
West Texas too
         A
I've done all I know to do, tryin’ 
to lose,
                                  D
Tryin’ to lose these old Lone Star

[Verse 2]
                D                
Well, I got laid off at Brown and 
                 G
Root, then on my way back to Cut 'N 
Shoot
         A                         
I lost my wristwatch an' my boots, 
                              D
shootin' dice with a dude from 
Houston
                    D         
Well, there ain't no jobs here 
                         G
workin' cattle, I got on part-time 
hauling gravel
         A                         
With some outfit from Seattle, down
                     D
 here building custom homes


[Chorus]
         D

[Verse 3]
                 D
Well I gassed my truck an' I packed 
my clothes,
            G
Turned in my key and I hit the road
      A                            
I said Cow Town's where I'll go, 
                         D
you never know, I might get lucky
            D                    
Well I got a friend there turnin' 
            G
knobs, at a place called Billy Bob's
       A                         
Said he thought he could get me a 
                       D
job there working as a bouncer
                  D            
First night on the job was just 
                 G
insane, some old boy got all 
deranged
             A                  
Hit me in the head with a Harley 
chain, to this day, my ears still
