Wake up in Oklahoma where the chilly wind still blows Wake me up in Oklahoma to the only love I know Five long years since I've been home now that the old place looks the same Barbara wrote me every Sunday always says the same old things Your daddy's fine and we both love you don't be drinking all the time You be good and come to see us don't forget to write sometime Wake up in Oklahoma... Ain't no love in that old city couldn't find my road to fame Pretty girls in there so precious only brought me tears and shame Mama said my baby waited knew that I'd return some day You can find me home tomorrow smiling through my tears stained face Wake up in Oklahoma... Wake up in Oklahoma...
