Oklahoma Sunset

I was back in Oklahoma, looking for a job

Wasted on your memory, trying to sober up

You were all that I could think of driving through the Tulsa dusk

Hell bent and hell bound, in my daddy's truck

Those dreams I had in Nashville, were scattered at my feet

Was it the bourbon down on Broadway, or the words I couldn't keep

Now there's lonely in these street signs, everywhere I look around

And this empty old Chevy bench seat is just another place to drown

I'm back in Oklahoma, watching the sun go down

I see you in the shadows, on the streets of our hometown

Where nothing ever changes but nothing stays the same

Took off to find my freedom but here I am again

In this Oklahoma sunset

Another day going down

I slow right down on the corner, of the used car lot

Swear I see that old mechanic, and the freedom that I'd bought

Said this Silverado's rusted, but it's better than it seems

Point er east on 40, she'll take you straight to Tennessee

I'm back in Oklahoma, watching the sun go down

I see you in the shadows, on the streets of our hometown

Where nothing ever changes but nothing stays the same

Took off to find my freedom but here I am again

In this Oklahoma sunset

Another day going down

Right here is where I left you, on the edge of twenty-three

I told you not to wait, said I'm never gonna be

Back in Oklahoma, watching the sun go down

Standing in the shadows, you're still turning my world upside down

Where nothing ever changes but nothing stays the same

Took off to find my freedom but here I am again

In this Oklahoma sunset

Another day going down
