Album: Boogie People (1991)

Oklahoma Sweetheart

Driftin'
West of California
On highway 66, my truck broke down
Yeah, and I found my pot of gold
In the heart of the dustbowl
Western angel, in a cowboy town

And I remember
The first day that I saw her
Standin' all alone in the rain
And when I looked into her face
There was not a trace
Of heartache, of sorrow, or of pain

She's my
Oklahoma sweetheart
The pride of Tulsa town
She never quits, and she never lets me down
She's my
Oklahoma sweetheart
My raw-boned Okie girl
Enough love to fill the whole wide world

And I remember
The time I had to tell her
The factory where I worked was shuttin' down
Yeah, but she just looked at me
And said what will be will have to be
She said it with a smile and not a frown

She's my
Oklahoma sweetheart
The pride of Tulsa town
She never quits and she never lets me down
She's my
Oklahoma sweetheart
My raw-boned Okie girl
Enough love to fill the whole wide world

Now whatever comes along
I'll know we'll handle
No problem's too big or too small
Yeah, with her right by my side
It'll be an easy ride
We may stumble
But we'll never fall

She's my
Oklahoma sweetheart
The pride of Tulsa town
She never quits and she never lets me down
She's my
Oklahoma sweetheart
My raw-boned Okie girl
Enough love to fill the whole wide world
She's my
Oklahoma sweetheart
The pride of Tulsa town
She never quits and she never lets me down
She never quits and she doesn't let me down
