"Lone Star Blues" lyrics

Well, I was born in Beaumont, left when I was in my teens
I hit the highway on down to New Orleans
Well, I was playing music, searching for just what life means

Cause sounds like the lone star blues
I never felt so all alone
Have the lone star blues
Tried to make it on your own
And then I felt so sad and lonesome
Wishin' I was back down home

You know, I kept on trying, finally got a lucky break
And the people started buying every single thing I could make
Now it was satisfying, one thing I just couldn't shake

I have the lone star blues
I didn't know who I could trust
Talk about the lone star blues
Was it love or was it lust
But by the time I understood it
Half my dreams had turned to dust

Fame and fortune hit me like a heart attack
Broke my heart, I could see through every crack
If this is all life has to offer, might just have to give it back

Sounds like the lone star blues
It can get lonely at the top
With the lone star blues
Keep on rockin' 'til you drop
Cause when you're heading for the bottom
It's hard to stop
You know it is
But when you get down to the bottom
You know it's time to stop
