C Dm
Your phone call took me by surprise
G7 C
Gee it's been a long long time
Dm
Since those hot and humid Texas nights
G7 C
When we went swimmn’ in the tide
Dm
Now Corpus Christi seems so far away
G7 C
And I'm not talkng’ 'bout the miles
Dm
And there ain't much I wouldn't give today
G7 C
Just to see one of your smiles
F
But here I sit alone in Denver
G7 C
Sippin’ the California wine
F
And I've got all night to remember you
G7 C
I'm in a lone star state of mind
Dm
I just saw John Wayne on the Late Late Show
G7 C
Saved the girl and rode away
Dm
And I was hoping as the credits rolled
G7 C
He'd make it back to her someday
F
But here I sit alone in Denver
G7 C
Sippin’ the California wine
F
And I've got all night to remember you
G7 C
I'm in a lone star state of mind
Dm G7 Dm G7
It's a thousand miles or more from here to your front door
Dm Em Am
I'd be there tomorrow if I left today
Dm G7 Em
And I'd just pack up my guitar you know it's really not that far
F G7
When you called you said I'd have a place to stay
F
But here I sit alone in Denver
G7 C
Sippin’ the California wine
F
And I've got all night to remember you
G7 C
I'm in a lone star state of mind
F
Yeah I've got all night to remember you
G7 C
I'm in a lone star state of mind
