Don Williams Lone Star State Of Mind Lyrics

Lone Star State Of Mind Lyrics

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 someday



And 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 just pack up my guitar

You know, it's really not that far

And when you called you said I'd have a place to stay
