Lone Star State of Mind

Your phone call took me by surprise

Gee, it's been a long, long time

Since those hot and humid Texas nights

We went swimmin' in the tide

And Corpus Christi seems so far away

And I'm not talkin' 'bout the miles

There ain't much I wouldn't give today

Just to see one of your smiles

But here I sit alone in Denver

Sippin' a California wine

And I've got all night to remember you

I'm 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 hopin' as the credits rolled

He'd make it back to her someday

But here I sit alone in Denver

Sippin' a California wine

And I've got all night to remember you

I'm in a lone star state of mind

It's a thousand miles or more from here to your front door

I'd be there tomorrow, if I left today

I'd just pack up my guitar, you know, it's really not that far

When you called, you said I'd have a place to stay

But here I am in Denver

Sippin' a California wine

And I've got all night to remember you

I'm in a lone star state of mind

'Cause I've got all night to remember you

I'm in a lone star state of mind

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh
