Lời & hợp âm

[Intro 1]
[D][G][D]
[G]
At [D]a truck

[Verse 1]
[G]stop in San Angelo
I saw a [C]billboard 'bout this rodeo
Last [D]weekend out in El Paso
So I signed up to ride
[G]

[Verse 2]
I drew a bull called Original Sin
Heard he'd [C]killed a couple of men
Figured this was [D]somethin'
I could win
'Cause the devil's on my side
[G]

[Verse 3]
I was havin' myself one hell of [D]a ride
[G]When [C]I, I ended up disqualified
'Cause that [D]danged old
bull just up and died
Before they blew the whistle
[G]

[Verse 4]
When I got [D]them [G]North Texas blues
Thought, I'd [C]paid all my dues
Then them [D]South Texas blues
Told me, son you ain't [G]through
[D]Had the[G]m

[Verse 5]
East Texas blues
[D]And [G]them [C]West [G]Texas [C]too
I've done [D]all I know to do
Tryin' to lose,
tryin' to lose these lone star blues
[G][D][G]

[Verse 6]
I got [D]laid [G]off at Brown and Root
On my [C]way back to Cut and Shoot
I lost my [D]wristwatch and my boots
Shootin' dice with a dude
from Hous[G]ton

[Verse 7]
[G]There ain't no jobs here workin' cattle
So I got on [C]part time haulin' gravel
With some [D]outfit from Seattle
Down here buildin' custom homes
[G]

[Verse 8]
When I got [D]them [G]North [D]Texas [G]blues
Thought, I'd [C]paid all [G]my dues
[C]And then them Sou[D]th Texas blues
Told me son you ain't [G]through

[Verse 9]
Had them [G]East [D]Texas [G]blues
And them [C]West [G]Texas [C]too
[G]I've done [D]all I know to do
Tryin' to lose, tryin' to lose these lone star [G]blues,
[D]alright

[Interlude 1]
[G][D][G][C][D]
[G][D][G][C][D]
[G]

[Verse 10]
I gassed up my [G]truck and
packed my clothes
[D]Turned [G]in [C]my key and hit the road
[D]I said, Cowtown's where I'll go
You never know I might get lucky
[G]

[Verse 11]
I got a friend there turning knobs
At this [C]place called Billy Bob's
Said [D]he could get me a job
There workin' as a boun[G]cer[D][G]

[Verse 12]
First night on [G]the job was just insane
Some ol' [C]boy got all deranged
Hit me in [D]the head with a Harley chain
To this day my ears still [G]ring

[Verse 13]
I got them [G]North Texas blues
Thought, I'd [C]paid all my dues
And them [D]South Texas blues
Told me son you ain't [G]through

[Verse 14]
Had them [G]East Texas blues
And them [C]West Texas too
I've done [D]all I know to do
Tryin' to lose,
tryin' to lose these lone star blues
[G][D][G]

[Verse 15]
I've done [D]all I know to do
Tryin' to lose,

[Outro 1]
tryin' to lose these lone star blues
[G][D][G][D][G]
