|
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 swimmin' in the tide |
|
Corpus Christi seems so far away |
|
And I'm not talkin' '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 |
|
Sippin' 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 |
|
Sippin' 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 am in Denver |
|
Sippin' the California Wine |
|
And I've got all night to remember you |
|
I'm in a lone star state of mind |
|
Yes, I've got all night to remember you |
|
I'm in a lone star state of mind |
