I Ain’t In Checotah Anymore

[Verse 1]
Where sixty-nine meets forty
There's a single stop light town
And back when I was really young
A part of that burned down
On any given Friday night
We'd drive a hundred miles
Between the Sonic and the grocery store
Laughing all the while
With as many friends as I could pack, in my daddy's Ford
But I ain't in Checotah anymore

[Verse 2]
My hotel in Manhattan
Holds more people than our town
And what I just paid for dinner
Would be a down payment on a house
I'd rather be tipping cows in Tulsa
Than hailing cabs here in New York
But I ain't in Checotah anymore

[Chorus]
I'm in a world so wide
It makes me feel small sometimes
I miss the big blue skies
The Oklahoma kind

[Verse 3]
In a world of long red carpets
The bright lights of Hollywood
All the paparazzi flashing
Could make a girl feel pretty good
You can get anything you want here
Except a Walmart store
But I ain't in Checotah anymore

[Chorus]
I'm in a world so wide
It makes me feel small sometimes
I miss the big blue skies
The Oklahoma kind

[Bridge]
Where the Wildcats beat the Ironheads
Old Settler's day and the OkraFest
After prom, down at the bowling lanes
Catching crappie fish in Eufaula Lake
I ain't in Checotah anymore

[Chorus]
Oh yeah
I'm in a world so wide
It makes me feel small sometimes
I miss the big blue skies
The Oklahoma kind
But I ain't in Checotah
No, I ain't in Checotah
Oh, there's nothing like Oklahoma

[Outro]
Where sixty-nine meets forty
There's a single stoplight town
