Lone Star Blues Lyrics - Here For A Good Time - George Strait

At a truck stop in St. 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 

Figured this was something I could win 

'Cause the devil was on my side 

I was having 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 trying to lose 

Trying 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 

Shooting dice with a dude from Houston 

There ain't no jobs here working cattle 

So I got on part-time hauling gravel 

With some outfit from Seattle 

Down here building 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 trying to lose 

Trying to lose these old lone star blues 

Well, I gassed my truck and I packed my clothes 

Turned in my key and I hit the road 

I said Cow Town'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 thought he could get me a job there 

Working as a bouncer 

First night on the job was just insane 

Some old 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 trying to lose 

Trying to lose these old lone star blues 

I've done all I know to do trying to lose 

Trying to lose these old lone star blues
