If you stay too long in Oklahoma
Soaking up the sun and drinking cola, beer
I'm gonna miss you here
There's a way of life in Oklahoma
Make the body bless the wind
That has blown you there
So little girl be warned
Don't let Oklahoma steal your heart
Keep me in your mind each day that we're apart
The sun, the air- will try to keep you there
Don't let uptake you away from me
They could easily
If you stay too long in Oklahoma
Chances are you never come back home again
And where would I be then?
Ohohohohohohohoh…
There's a way of life in Oklahoma
Make the body bless the wind
That's blown you there
So little girl be warned
Don't let Oklahoma steal your heart
Keep me in your mind each day that we're apart
The sun, the air- will try to keep you there
Don't let uptake you away from me
They could easily
If you stay too long in Oklahoma
Chances are you never come back home again
And where would I be then?
Ohohohohohohohoh…
Come on back from Oklahoma, please!
Oh honey, think I'll be!
(Oh honey, think I'll be!)
Ohohohohohohohoh…
Come on back from Oklahoma, please!
Oh honey, think I'll be!
