Lone Star State of Mind

"Y'all come back now," that's what the sign said

But it's been too long, I ain't been back yet

I don't wanna find out you movin' on since I been gone

We were better in a memory

Maybe the best of me is still in Abilene

You said that I'd forget you, but you were wrong

I'm in a Lone Star state of mind

Blue as an Amarillo sky

I must've made the Red River rise

Cryin' all the way to the other side

And I got a good thing in Tennessee

But there'll always be a part of me

That never made it 'cross the state line

Oh, I'm in a Lone Star state of mind

Our little hometown couldn't hold me

And then I lost you chasing my dreams

I guess everything's bigger in Texas, even all of my regrets

I'm in a Lone Star state of mind

Blue as an Amarillo sky

I must've made the Red River rise

Cryin' all the way to the other side

And I got a good thing in Tennessee

But there'll always be a part of me

That never made it 'cross the state line

Oh, I'm in a Lone Star state of mind

And all these lonely miles between us

And just as many lonely days

Lord, we both had our good reasons

And I know you just had to stay

Now I'm in a Lone Star state of mind

Blue as an Amarillo sky

I must've made the Red River rise

Cryin' all the way to the other side

And I got a good thing in Tennessee

But you'll always be a part of me

That never made it 'cross the state line

Whoa, I'm in a Lone Star state of mind

In a Lone Star state of mind

I'm in a Lone Star state of mind
