(Patrick Alger / Gene Levine / Fred Koller)      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.      Chorus:   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 some day.      Chorus:   'Cause, 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.      --- Instrumental ---      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 jus' pack up my guitar   You know its really not that far   And when you called you said    I'd have a place to stay.      Chorus:   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've got all night to remember you   I'm in a lone star state of mind...
