Lone Star State Of Mind Lyrics

Lone Star State Of Mind

Your phone call took my by surprise

Gee, it's been a long, long time

Since those hot and humid Texas nights

When we went swimm'n in the
tide



Corpus Christi seems so far away

And I'm not talk'n
'bout the miles

And there ain't much I wouldn't give today

Just to
see one of your smiles



     (chorus) 

     But here I sit
alone in Denver 

     Sipp'n the 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 hoping as the credits rolled

He'd make it back
to her someday



(repeat chorus)



It's a thousand miles
or more

From here to your front door

I'd be there tomorrow if I
left today

And 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



(repeat chorus)
