[Chorus] Lone Star lonely's a whole different state of mind It's eight hundred miles without you by my side It's an empty right seat and a radio low Every little town's somewhere we used to go Texas was heaven... when you still wanted me Now the whole damn state ain't big enough to outrun your memory Yeah, you left me lonely-yyy... Lone Star Lone-ly [Verse 1] You'd kick your boots off, feet out the window I'd turn it up when our song hit the radio You'd sing the high part, I'd get mine wrong Laughin' our way through every country song We'd miss our turn, you'd say, “Just let it go” Back when we never took the shortest road [Chorus] Lone Star lonely's a whole different state of mind It's eight hundred miles without you by my side It's an empty right seat and a radio low Every little town's somewhere we used to go Texas was heaven... when you held on to me Now the whole damn state ain't big enough to set me free Yeah, you left me lonely-yyy... Lone Star Lone-ly [Verse 2] You fell for a little white house outside Abilene Said, “We could make a life here, what do you think?” I kissed your cheek, said, “Maybe someday”, “We can make San Antone before the light fades” You saw forever every place we'd been I just saw another town around the bend [Chorus] Lone Star lonely's a whole different state of mind It's eight hundred miles without you by my side It's an empty right seat and a radio low Every little town's somewhere we used to go, ohh! Texas was heaven... when you still waited for me Now every damn road I take just leads me back to your memory Yeah, you left me lonely-yyy... Lone Star Lone-ly [Post-Chorus] ...Lone Star Lone-ly! ...Ohhh! [Bridge] Could've made good time on the interstate But I'm still takin' roads from our better days Past that old bar, past your old street Past every place you ever loved me Maybe I ain't lost, maybe I always knew... I've been takin' the long way back through... you ...Ohh! the long way back through you [Final Chorus] Lone Star lonely's a whole different state of mind It's eight hundred miles without you by my side It's an empty right seat and a radio low Every little town's somewhere we used to go I thought Texas was heaven, when you still wanted me Now I'm drivin' every mile just to keep your memory Yeah, you left me lonely-yyy... Lone Star Lone-ly [Outro] Yeah, I've been takin' the Lone Star, long way... Back to when I still had you.
