When you said you'd leave there
I really thought the day would never come
I see your bags are packed
And your mind ain't changed
Just the town is empty And it lets me know you're really gone
Can't help but feel all this pain So why'd you go to Oklahoma?
Don't you know them stars,
they ain't that bright?
And why'd you leave me here and here stay?
Messing you tonight It ain't got the feel of Austin
It ain't got the look of San Antonio So why'd you go to Oklahoma?
When Oklahoma ain't your home?
I know you think it's over now But
for me it ain't as over as you think
It's hard to watch you letting go When I still hold on to yesterday
I see your chest and dreams,
girl And I hope you find all them and more
But for me there's no need in searching
Cause you're everything I've been looking
for So why'd you go to Oklahoma?
Don't you know them stars,
they ain't that bright?
And why'd you leave me here and here stay?
Messing you tonight It ain't got the feel of Austin
It ain't got the look of San Antonio So why'd you go to Oklahoma?
When Oklahoma ain't your home?
I bet you're sitting in a bar somewhere And still watering,
they're playing this song
And your mind starts to wonder why you barely left home
Wish you would've thought it over,
now you're all alone
So why'd you go to Oklahoma?
Where the stars just ain't as bright
And I'm here and here staying
Getting over you tonight
It ain't got the feel of Austin
Oh, Oklahoma,
ain't your home What you doing out there, girl?
When Oklahoma ain't your home?
