"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
