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
Where the chilly wind still blows
Wake me up in Oklahoma
To the only love I know.
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
Where the chilly wind still blows
Wake me up in Oklahoma
To the only love I know.
Wake up in Oklahoma
Where the chilly wind still blows
Wake me up in Oklahoma
To the only love I know...
