                              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

Bridge:
       Em                A
It's a thousand miles or more
     Em                 A
From here to your front door
       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
