Your phone call took me by surprise
Gee its 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 Im not talkin bout the miles
There aint much I wouldnt give today
Just to see one of your smiles
CHORUS:
But Im stuck here in Denver
Sippin California wine
And Ive got all night to remember you
Im 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
Hed make it back to her some day
An its a thousand miles or more
From here to your front door
Oh, Id be there tomorrow if I had my way
Well, Id jus pack up my guitar
You know its really not that far
And when you called you said Id have a place to stay
