This the one?

Lone Star State Of Mind
Words & Music By Fred Koller, Patrick Alger & Gene Levine

Your phone call took my by surprise
Gee, it's been a long, long time
Since those hot and humid Texas nights
When we went swimm'n in the tide

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:
But here I sit alone in Denver
Sipp'n the California wine
And I've got all night to remember you
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

(Repeat chorus)

It's a thousand miles or more
From here to your front door
I'd be there tomorrow if I left today
And I'd just pack up my guitar
You know it's really not that far
When you called you said I'd have a place to stay

(Repeat chorus)

Genie:

I would but I've never heard the song and I still don't have the chords nor any sheet music. Boo Hoo ;'(

nanci Griffith's home page is called Gulf Coast Highway. Not sure if there is away to access the tune thru her page--but it is the title song of her album that has that wonderful song "From a Distance" on it, i think.
