Oklahoma

I was found out in the rushes

Like a can of paint and old paintbrushes

Like a ribbon wrapped around a small latchkey

Wicker whatnot, that's what you call me

I was sleeping on your patio

Listening to your brand new radio

When you startled me awake

I'm a man, I insist you insist I'm a piece of cake

Head out west, stake that claim

And forget everybody else's name

I can't say, knew you when

Let's pretend so we can begin again

You've got eyes like Oklahoma

Learned to swim in Lake Texhoma

Chances are you plan to leave too soon

Oklahoma, that's what I'll call you

When you're left with nowhere else to go

Try and get me on my telephone

And you'll find I threw it in a lake

You're a man, you insist I insist I'm a piece of cake

Head out west, stake that claim

And forget everybody else's name

I can't say, knew you when

Let's pretend so we can begin again
