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

[Verse 2]
C                           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

[Chorus]
                        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

[Verse 3]
C                                 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

[Chorus]
                        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

[Bridge]
       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              Am
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

[Chorus]
                        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

[Outro]
                           F
Yeah I've got all night to remember you
G7                          C
I'm in a lone star state of mind
