Oklahoma Promise

As the darkness turns to morning on the Oklahoma plains

I've just crossed the Tulsa county line

And the wheels on this old pickup seem to hum a sweeter tune

As the miles on this old lonesome road unwind

'Cause no matter where I traveled, all the riches turned to dust

And the women never really suited me

I kept thinking about an Oklahoma promise that I made

You're the only love that sets my mind at ease

I turned around in Phoenix, I was headed for LA

Only heaven knows what I had hoped to find

'Cause I never dreamed that Oklahoma grass could look so green

And that water tasted just as sweet as wine

And no matter where I traveled, all the riches turned to dust

And the women never really suited me

I kept thinking about an Oklahoma promise that I made

You're the only love that sets my mind at ease

Yes, no matter where I traveled, all the riches turned to dust

And the women never really suited me

I come home to keep an Oklahoma promise that I made

You're the only love that sets my mind at ease
