Lone Star State Of Mind
By Nanci Griffith
1/17/2010
Your phone call took me by sur[Em]prise
[A]Gee, it's been a long, long [D]time
[D]Since those hot and humid [Em]Texas nights
[A]When we went swimm'n in the [D]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:
But here I sit alone in [G]Denver
[A]Sipp'n the California [D]wine
And I've got all night to re[G]member you
[A]I'm in a lone star state of [D]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:
It's a [Em]thousand miles or [A]more
[Em] [A]
I'd be [Em]there tomorrow [F#m]if I left to[Bm]day
And I'd just [Em]pack up my gui[A]tar
Em Em/F# '
You know it's really not that far
When you [G]called you said I'd have a place to [A]stay
Chorus
