Oklahoma City

Four, three, two Old friend, it's been a while And I ain't spoke to you in years And often times, boys from this town Put wheels down and disappear Miss Cole asked about you just three days back And I had no answer to give her Told her that you moved way out West To write some songs and grow a little more bitter Kids talk about you around here Like you're some kind of legend I wonder if they know a thousand sunrises ago You were eager just like them But if you ever decide to bring your pain and your pride Back to this side of Oklahoma City There'll be a porch light on from the post you leaned on Before we wound up on the wrong side of pity And often times I pray for you, and often times I don't Is it the goodbyes that haunt you? Or the fear of new hellos? Won't stay for long 'cause you won't stop your running Wait for tomorrow 'til tomorrow's not coming Woo Heard you landed in Tulsa while he slipped away Is that the reason you're fleeing the fields we hauled hay? Heat this July or the dark last December Look in my eyes, and you might remember Weed out in Norman, the Stillwater strip Run far enough, boy, and you're bound to trip But if you ever decide to bring your pain and your pride Back to this side of Oklahoma City There'll be a porch light on from the post you leaned on Before we wound up on the wrong side of pity And often times I pray for you, and often times I don't Is it the goodbyes that haunt you? Or the fear of new hellos? Never stay long 'cause you won't stop your running Wait for tomorrow 'til tomorrow's not coming Send it Woo Here it comes If you ever decide to bring your pain and your pride Back to this side of Oklahoma City There'll be a porch light on from the post you leaned on Before we wound up on the wrong side of pity And often times I pray for you, and often times I don't Is it the goodbyes that haunt you? Or the fear of new hellos? Never stay long 'cause you won't stop your running Wait for tomorrow 'til tomorrow's not coming
