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
