Oklahoma Promise

As the darkness turns to morning on the Oklahoma plains
I've just crossed the Tulsa County line
And the wheels on this old pickup
Seemed to hum the sweetest tune
As the miles on this old lonesome road unwind

Cause no matter where I travelled all the riches turn to dust
And the women never really suited me
I kept thinking about an Oklahoma promise that I'd made
You're the only love that sets my mind at ease

I turned around in Phoenix, I was headed for L.A
Only heaven knows what I had hoped to find
Cause I never dreamed that Oklahoma grass could look so green
And that water tasted just as sweet as wine

And no matter where I travelled all the riches turn to dust
And the women never really suited me
I kept thinking about an Oklahoma promise that I'd made
You're the only love that sets my mind at ease

Yes no matter where I travel all the riches turn to dust
And the women never really suited me
I've come home to keep an Oklahoma promise that I'd made
When the only love that sets my mind at ease
