I’m in a Texas state of mind
Been lonely too long this time
California’s too damn far from you
and that old long star
I’m in a Texas state of mind
You’re dreams are much more than mine
And each one leaves my farther behind
I need to hold you again so come home
While you’re in a Texas state of mind
Just as soon as I see the lights of big D
I know honey you’ll have me smiling again
Don’t forget that you’re mine
down at Sunset and Vine
Keep me in mind when you see those la women
Don’t worry cause I’m in a Texas state of mind
It’s so good to hear your voice of the line
I’m seeing your face I’m counting the days
In a Texas state of mind
In a Texas state of mind
