Nanci Griffith - Lone Star State Of Mind lyrics

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 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 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 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 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
