Lyrics

[Verse 1]
New York woman tryin' to make me love her
A sad eyed girl with rollers in her hair
Down the hall, somebody's cookin' cabbage
Kids are runnin' up and down the stairs
[Verse 2]
I'd like to leave this godforsaken city
But I can't go no matter how I try
But once again, I'll be in Oklahoma
Tonight, when I lay down and close my eyes
[Verse 3]
I'll be standing in that Oklahoma sunshine
I just got off the bus from another world
Kissin' Mom and shakin' hands with Papa
Dryin' the tears of an Oklahoma girl
[Verse 4]
Standing in that Oklahoma sunshine
A dream that I have dreamed so many times
A blue eyed girl with the golden hair still loves me
When I go back to Oklahoma in my mind
[Verse 5]
When the cold wind blows in this big city
A part of me flies home to where it's warm
New York woman thinks that I'm still with her
Just because I'm sleeping in her arms
[Verse 6]
But I'll be standing in that Oklahoma sunshine
I just got off the bus from another world
Kissin' Mom and shakin' hands with Papa
Dryin' the tears of an Oklahoma girl
[Verse 7]
Standing in that Oklahoma sunshine
A dream that I have dreamed so many times (Whoa)
The blue eyed girl with the golden hair still loves me
When I go back to Oklahoma in my mind
[Verse 8]
Whoa, I'll be standing in that Oklahoma sunshine
I just got off the bus from another world
