Lone Star State Of Mind
By Nanci Griffith

Em
Your phone call took me by surprise
A D
Gee, it's been a long, long time
D Em
Since those hot and humid Texas nights
A D
When we went swimm'n in the tide
Now 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
Chorus:
G
But here I sit alone in Denver
A D
Sipp'n the California wine
G
And I've got all night to remember you
A D
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
Chorus
Solos
Bridge:
Em A
It's a thousand miles or more
Em A
Em F#m Bm
I'd be there tomorrow if I left today
Em A
And I'd just pack up my guitar
Em Em/F# ??
You know it's really not that far
G A
When you called you said I'd have a place to stay
Chorus
