Текст песни: Don Williams. 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 I?m not talkin? ?bout the miles
There ain?t much I wouldn?t give today
Just to see one of your smiles

But I?m stuck here in Denver
Sippin? California wine
And I?ve got all night to remember you
I?m 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
He?d make it back to her someday

And it's a thousand miles or more
From here to your front door
Oh, I?d be there tomorrow if I had my way
Well, I?d just pack up my guitar
You know, it's really not that far
And when you called you said I?d have a place to stay
