Oklahoma

If we go back to Oklahoma

If we go back to Oklahoma

Would you make an honest girl of me

I don’t know much about Tulsa

If it’s good for us, you better make me see

I tried to keep you here in Texas

I’ve got a lot of opportunity

But you swear that life is better for us

Northeast of here up in the tall trees

If we go back to Oklahoma

Would you stop living like a child

Show me that you’re more than just potential

Show me you’re the man to drive me wild

It’s not that I don’t support your dreams

But it gets tired earning both our keep

And judging by the way you wanna love me

We oughta be makin’ ‘nough for three

If we go back to Oklahoma

Would you stop running wild and free

Would you buy a little house outside of Tulsa

Would you try to be a better man for me

It sure was fun to see the country

From the back of your econoline

But this van-life ain’t all it’s cracked up to be

‘Specially since we blew through all my credit line

I ain’t got nothin’ ‘gainst life on the road

I’ve done my share of sleeping in my car

But I worked hard and now I stay in hotels

I ain’t goin’ back now that I got this far

Money and the world but it is something

That shows you give a damn about your needs

And you say you wanna start a little family

Well you better show me that you got the means

So if we go back to Oklahoma

Would you get a straight job for me?

I could learn to love our life outside of Tulsa

If you’ll try to be a better man for me

Can you make it all worth it baby

Would you try to be a better man for me
