And I'm giving this one to you
My darling Oklahoma
And I know my love comes far away
Please don't hold it against me
If I long to see me a world far from ya
Before I'll perish and though I'll perish on your plains
And I love how the wheat waves hello and goodbye
But I just can't stand how cold it can get there sometimes
But I know that my love and I know that my home is there and stays with you
Oh the rumble roar of thunder storms over pastures sewn together
By barbed wire, fence posts and dirt road seams
In Woodward there's the old windmill that stands like legends of Woody and Will
Through that we all have our separate scissortail dreams
And I love passing grain elevators like ships in the night
But I just can't stand how hot it can get here sometimes
But I know that my love and I know that my home is there and stays with you
And I'm giving this one to you
My darling Oklahoma
And I know my love comes far away
Please don't hold it against me if I long to see me a world far from ya
Before I'll perish and though I'll perish on your plains
Before I'll perish and I swear I'll perish on your plains
