Beaches in Oklahoma

[Verse 1]
2.000 miles is 2.000 miles any way you wanna cut it
And trying to make it work ain't ever gonna work
Every time you think it does, it doesn't
You can't change what you can't change
As much as I try to make you stay
As much as it's gonna keep making my heart break
At the end of the day

[Chorus]
There'll never be beaches in Oklahoma
Never be palm trees in the country
Ain't no Hollywood hills up in the Smokys
I'll never let it go even though I know
We gave it everything we had
Wish I could rearrange the map
I'd bring that California coastline closer
Put your head right back on my shoulder
But I guess everything's right where it's meant to be
There'll never be beaches in Oklahoma
Or you in Tennessee

[Verse 2]
You can't find what you're looking for
When you're looking in the wrong direction
You couldn't call it home and I can't follow you where you're headed
I guess I gotta be okay
Knowing you walked away

[Chorus]
There'll never be beaches in Oklahoma
Never be palm trees in the country
Ain't no Hollywood hills up in the Smokys
I'll never let it go even though I know
We gave it everything we had
Wish I could rearrange the map
I'd bring that California coastline closer
Put your head right back on my shoulder
But I guess everything's right where it's meant to be
There'll never be beaches in Oklahoma
Or you in Tennessee
You in Tennessee

[Bridge]
You're probably doing alright
And I'm still wishing I can change your mind

[Chorus]
There'll never be beaches in Oklahoma
Never be palm trees in the country
Ain't no Hollywood hills up in the Smokys
I'll never let it go even though I know
We gave it everything we had
Wish I could rearrange the map
I'd bring that California coastline closer
Put your head right back on my shoulder
But I guess everything's right where it's meant to be
There'll never be beaches in Oklahoma
Or you in Tennessee
Or you in Tennessee
