(Fred Koller, Patrick Alger & Gene Levine)
|
Your phone call took my by surprise
|
Gee, it's been a long, long time
|
Since those hot and humid Texas nights
|
When we went swimm'n in the tide
|
|
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:]
|
But here I sit alone in Denver
|
Sipp'n the 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
|
Save the girl and ride away
|
And I was hoping as the credits rolled
|
He'd make it back to her someday
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
It's a thousand miles or more
|
From here to your front door
|
I'd be there tomorrow if I left today
|
And I'd just pack up my guitar
|
You know it's really not that far
|
When you called you said I'd have a place to stay
|
|
[Chorus]
|
