It'll all come back around
Gloria said with defeat
As she made her way towards Tulsa
No, she didn't skip a beat
The moment that she left me
I was on my knees
My dignity left with her
I think it's carried by the breeze
I guess if I should die young
I wouldn't mind I sang all that was needing sung
She ripped it out my chest and took my heart to Oklahoma
Before I got the chance to say the things that I never told her
Oklahoma ain't that far
Oklahoma when it gets dark
Please look up into the sky and know we're under common stars
I ain't a man of much faith
But last night I swear I prayed
To a god, I don't believe in
That Gloria would come back to stay
And though I am a heathen
I considered myself blessed
Til she packed her bags and left me
In a car that was headed west
And though I can't begin to understand
I hope Gloria finds herself another fine man
She ripped it out my chest and took my heart to Oklahoma
Before I had the chance to say the things I never told her
Oklahoma ain't that far
Oklahoma when it gets dark
Please look up into the sky and know we're under common stars
Oklahoma ain't that far
Oklahoma when it gets dark
Please look up into the sky and know we're under common stars
