         D                                                                 G 
At a truck stop in San Angelo, I saw a billboard about this rodeo
           A                                                                               D 
This weekend out in El Paso, so I signed up to ride
                                                                                           G 
I drew a bull called Original Sin, heard he'd killed a couple of men
                                 A                                                                                                 D 
Figured this was somethin' I could win, 'cause the devil was on my side
           D                                                                             G 
I was havin' myself one hell of a ride, but I ended up disqualified
         A                                                                                           D 
That old bull just up an died, before they blew the whistle
                   D                                                           G 
With them North Texas blues, thought I'd paid all my dues
                   A                                                                               D 
Then them South Texas blues, told 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         A  D 
Tryin? to lose these old Lone Star Blues

Well, I got laid off at Brown and Root, then on my way back to Cut 'N Shoot
                   A                                                                                                             D 
I lost my wristwatch an' my boots, shootin' dice with a dude from Houston
                                         D                                                                   G 
Well, there ain't no jobs here workin' cattle, I got on part-time hauling gravel
                   A                                                                                           D 
With some outfit from Seattle, down here building custom homes
                   D                                                           G 
With them North Texas blues, thought I'd paid all my dues
                   A                                                                               D 
Then them South Texas blues, told me son you ain't through

verse 3
                                   D 
Well I gassed my truck an' I packed my clothes,
                         G 
Turned in my key and I hit the road
             A                                                                                                         D 
I said Cow Town's where I'll go, you never know, I might get lucky
                         D                                                               G 
Well I got a friend there turnin' knobs, at a place called Billy Bob's
               A                                                                                               D 
Said he thought he could get me a job there working as a bouncer
                                     D                                                         G 
First night on the job was just insane, some old boy got all deranged
                           A                                                                                                       D 
Hit me in the head with a Harley chain, to this day, my ears still ring
                   D                                                           G 
With them North Texas blues, thought I'd paid all my dues
                   A                                                                               D 
Then them South Texas blues, told me son you ain't through
