King of Oklahoma

We'll take the copper from the work site, meet me here at midnight

They ain't got a camera or a guard

Write my own prescription if I can't get a fix, son

Shit's about to get real hard

Molly don't believe me, says she's gonna leave me

The kids won't even know my name

Put a gallon in the stepside with a little help

By morning, I won't feel no pain

Never thought I'd wind up this far behind

Just a couple years back, we had it made

I was emptying my bladder on a 20-foot ladder

Should've climbed down and found myself some shade

Doctor took a quick look and I got out the checkbook

And left with a pocket full of pills

Now my back's still hurtin', and I'm too weak for workin'

And I can't keep up with all the bills

She used to wake me up with coffee every morning

And I'd hear her homemade house shoes slide across the floor

She used to make me feel like the king of Oklahoma

But nothing makes me feel like much of nothing anymore

I was all set up to do it, but some bastard beat me to it

Ain't a copper pipe left on the lot

Got a loan out on the truck, but I'm runnin' out of luck

And the title is the only thing I've got

Molly's gonna leave me, says she don't believe me

I got nothing left to lie about

She's going back to Bixby, tired of trying to fix me

Says I got some shit to figure out

She used to wake me up with coffee every morning

And I'd hear her homemade house shoes slide across the floor

And she used to make me feel like the king of Oklahoma

But nothing makes me feel like much of nothing anymore

She used to wake me up with coffee every morning

And I'd act like I was sleepin' 'til she'd walk back through the door

She used to make me feel like the king of Oklahoma

But nothing makes me feel like much of nothing anymore
