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

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 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 there'll always be a part of me

That never made it 'cross the state line

Woah, 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

Ooh!
