Oklahoma Blue

It was Oklahoma City
It was on a rainy day
I headed down south to Blanchard Town
The place where I was raised
Now when I was just a little boy
I took the urge to roam
And now these cold and lonely Detroit streets
Are the place I call my home
Tell ol' Jackrabbit Johnny I’m not too far gone
If he asks me what I’ve been up to
I’m a thousand miles away from home
And I’m Oklahoma blue
Baby, I’m Oklahoma blue
See I got me a job in Detroit, baby
I was workin' in a factory
I lost my job and I lost my card
economy
Now my hands are in my pockets
I’m standing out in the rain
And I wish I was down on the Illinois River
Just a-steaming down Tahlequah Lane
Tell ol' Jackrabbit Johnny I’m not too far gone
If he asks me what I’ve been up to
I’m a thousand miles away from home
And I’m Oklahoma blue
Baby, I’m Oklahoma blue
It’s them crazy cyclones and jelly
Watonga girls and the cheese
Maybe just a little slow country talking
Is the only thing I need
You know I can squeeze box, baby
But I never learned how to dance
And I ain’t never been down
Seen the streets of Paris France
Oh but I damn sure seen this sidewalk
And sung these hard-luck songs
I wish I could hear the Scissortail singin'
The place I call home
Tell ol' Jackrabbit Johnny I’m not too far gone
If he asks me what I’ve been up to
I’m a thousand miles away from home
And I’m Oklahoma blue
Baby, I’m Oklahoma blue
Tell ol' Jackrabbit Johnny I’m not too far gone
If he asks me what I’ve been up to
I’m a thousand miles away from home
And I’m Oklahoma blue
Baby, I’m Oklahoma blue
Baby, I’m Oklahoma blue
