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

Corpus Cristi 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 I'm stuck here in Denver

Sippin' 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

He saved the girl and rode away

But I was hopin' as the credits rolled

He'd make it back to her some day.

'Cause, I'm stuck here in Denver

Sippin' 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

Oh, I'd be there tomorrow if I had my way

Well, I'd jus' pack up my guitar

You know its really not that far

And when you called you said

I'd have a place to stay.

But I'm stuck here in Denver

Sippin' California wine

And I've got all night to remember you

I'm in a lone star state of mind.

I've got all night to remember you

I'm in a lone star state of mind...
