Yeah
She tried to live
On the inside
An get a house…an make a home
An
She tried to give
And be satisfied
Livin close…to the bone
But
As time
It passed by
It all…closed in
And she craved
For the wild
On the outsides…again
Yeah she tried to be
What he wanted her to be
And
She tried to do
What he wanted her to do
But
Her honky tonk mind
Just couldn't find a way through
To his plans
So
She broke
For the wild
On the outsides…again
(An ten years later
in Southern California)
Well he met her at a party
For a painter
She was naked and sittin in this chair
That come from France
So
He asked her if she'd mind
Talkin to a stranger
But
She just rolled her crazy eyes
And started to dance
O…KL…AH…OM…A
Outside Oklahoma
Okay…L.A.
