Your phone call [C]took me by surprise[Dm]
[G7]Gee it's been a long long [C]time
Since those hot and humid [Dm]Texas nights
[G7]When we went swimmn' in the [C]tide
Now Corpus Christi seems so [Dm]far away
[G7]And I'm not talkng' 'bout the [C]miles
And there ain't much I wouldn't [Dm]give today
[G7]Just to see one of your [C]smiles
But here I sit alone in [F]Denver
[G7]Sippin' the California [C]wine
And I've got all night to [F]remember you
[G7]I'm in a lone star state of [C]mind
I just saw John Wayne on the Late [Dm]Late Show
[G7]Saved the girl and rode [C]away
And I was hoping as the [Dm]credits rolled
[G7]He'd make it back to her some[C]day
But here I sit alone in [F]Denver
[G7]Sippin' the California [C]wine
And I've got all night to [F]remember you
[G7]I'm in a lone star state of [C]mind
It's a [Dm]thousand miles or [G7]more from [Dm]here to your front [G7]door
I'd be [Dm]there tomorrow [Em]if I left to[Am]day
And I'd just [Dm]pack up my gui[G7]tar you know it's [Em]really not that far
When you [F]called you said I'd have a place to [G7]stay
But here I sit alone in [F]Denver
[G7]Sippin' the California [C]wine
And I've got all night to [F]remember you
[G7]I'm in a lone star state of [C]mind
Yeah I've got all night to [F]remember you
