Lone Star State Of Mind

Your phone call took my by surprise
Gee, its been a long, long time
Since those hot and humid Texas nights
When we went swimmn in the tide
Corpus Christi seems so far away
And Im not talkn bout the miles
And there aint much I wouldnt give today
Just to see one of your smiles
But here I sit alone in Denver
Sippn the California wine
And Ive got all night to remember you
Im in a lone star state of mind
I just saw John Wayne on the Late, Late Show
Save the girl and ride away
And I was hoping as the credits rolled
Hed make it back to her someday
But here I sit alone in Denver
Sippn the California wine
And Ive got all night to remember you
Im in a lone star state of mind
Its a thousand miles or more
From here to your front door
Id be there tomorrow if I left today
And Id just pack up my guitar
You know its really not that far
When you called you said Id have a place to stay
But here I sit alone in Denver
Sippn the California wine
And Ive got all night to remember you
Im in a lone star state of mind
