Oklahoma - Bishop Allen

I was found out in the rushes

Like a can of paint and old paintbrushes

Like a ribbon wrapped around an old latch key

Wicknor-Whatnot that’s what you call me

I was sleeping on your patio

Listening to your brand new radio

When you startled me awake

I’m a man — I insist you insist on a piece of cake

Uh oh, Uh ooh-ah oh, Uh ooh-ah oh, Uh ooh-ah oh

Uh oh, Uh ooh-ah oh, Uh ooh-ah oh, Uh ooh-ah oh

Uh oh, Uh ooh-ah oh, Uh ooh-ah oh, Uh ooh-ah oh

Way out west

Stake that claim

And forget everybody else’s name

I can’t say

Knew you well

Lets pretend so we can begin again

You’ve got eyes like Oklahoma

Learned to swim in Lake Texoma

Chances are you plan to leave too soon

Oklahoma that’s what Ill call you!

When you’re left with nowhere else to go

Try and get me on my telephone

And you’ll find I threw it in a lake

You’re a man — You insist I insist on a piece of cake

Uh oh, Uh ooh-ah oh, Uh ooh-ah oh, Uh ooh-ah oh

Uh oh, Uh ooh-ah oh, Uh ooh-ah oh, Uh ooh-ah oh

Uh oh, Uh ooh-ah oh, Uh ooh-ah oh, Uh ooh-ah oh
