Lone Star State of Mind

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 Im not talkin bout the miles
There aint much I wouldnt give today
Just to see one of your smiles

But Im stuck here in Denver
Sippin California wine
And Ive got all night to remember you
Im 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
Hed make it back to her someday
