Story behind the song
Jaunita read my status on Facebook where I made
the comment I was in a "Texas State of Mind"
Juanita liked it and sent me some lyrics she had written
I liked it too so I wrote more lyrics and composed the music
and Claude Larente did the music trax ..
As of late : The song has been recorded by Donna Ray at Echota Records
produced by Ed Gowens....A Big thank you to Ed & Donna and all the great musicians who played on the new version
Lyrics
Texas state of mind
(key of C)
By Vonee Rose Music Pub /Juanita Ford Publishing (C) 2010 (BMI)
Verse1
All alone on a Saturday night
I’m thinking of another place and time
When your eyes first found mine
it was love at first sight
We met in Tenn but you couldn't leave
Texas behind
Now here I am all alone in
a Texas State of Mind
(first Chours)
I’m In a Texas state of mind ..tonight
The radio is playing the great patsy cline
She's Singing faded love and it brings tears to my eyes
and I'm sure missing you and Texas tonight
(V2)
We fell in love in San Antone..Under that Lonestar sky
You asked me to leave Tenn. Move to Texas and be your wife
but I couldn't leave my dream and so I paid the price
Now all I have is these honky tonks and my name in Marqee
lights
(2nd Chours or bridge)
If I had it to do over...If I could go back in time
I'd be the one with you in texas
And I'd be the one wearing white tonight
but Im still here in Tennesee..and your with your new bride
and all that I have left of you ... is a Texas State of mind
Instrumental Break Here ( Steel guitar and Fiddle) or piano
repeat first chours and end --
