Your phone call took me by surprise
AD
Gee, it's been a long, long time
DEm
Since those hot and humid Texas nights
AD
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
AD
Sipp'n the California wine
G
And I've got all night to remember you
AD
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
Solos
Bridge:
EmA
It's a thousand miles or more
EmAEmF#mBm
I'd be there tomorrow if I left today
EmA
And I'd just pack up my guitar
EmEm/F# ??
You know it's really not that far
GA
When you called you said I'd have a place to stay
