Oklahoma

We were shaking in our beds that night
There were strangers in the streets that night
Preacher cried out hell's been raised
Another hot Oklahoma night
Another hot Oklahoma night
The kind of night where you just sit still
The kind of night where you just don't move
We were shaking in our beds that night
We were shaking in our boots that night
Tornado hit and the roof gave way
Tornado hit and all we could do was pray
How was I to know what I was to think
How was I to know what I was to feel
How am I to say what I can't feel
How am I to face what I cannot hide
We were looking in our hearts that day
There was movement in our hearts that day
They were talking but we could not hear
They were talking but we could not hear
Fever broke and the dead raised up
The ground broke open and the dead were raised
The kind of night where you just sit spooked
It's a hard life, it's a hard life
We were looking in our hearts that day
We were hugging in our beds that night
Storm hit and the roof gave way
When a man cries it ain't easy
but he swore duty, body and soul
How was I to know what I was to think
How was I to know what I was to feel
How an I to say what I can't describe
How am I to face what I cannot hide
Momma said you know she ain't that strong
We were praying in our hearts that day
God, there was movement in our hearts
They were praying but I could not feel
They were praying but I couldn't feel
Another hot Oklahoma night
Another Oklahoma night
Fools part as the day breaks wide
Heaven's doors were opened wide
I quit, so I said give up
He said I can't stop the lights not gone
Once in a blue moon shown against that day
And my heart rips open and all I could do was pray
How was I to know what I was to think
How was I to know what I was to feel
How am I to say what I can't describe
How am I to face what I cannot hide
