Oklahoma Songtext
von Bishop Allen

I was found out in the rushes
Like a can of paint and old paintbrushes
Like a ribbon wrapped around a small latchkey
Wicker whatnot, that′s what you call me
I was sleeping on your patio
Listening to your brand new radio
When you startled me awake
I'm a man, I insist you insist I′m a piece of cake
Head out west, stake that claim
And forget everybody else's name
I can't say, knew you when
Let′s pretend so we can begin again


You′ve got eyes like Oklahoma
Learned to swim in Lake Texhoma
Chances are you plan to leave too soon
Oklahoma, that's what I′ll call you
When you're left with nowhere else to go
Try and get me on my telephone
And you′ll find I threw it in a lake
You're a man, you insist I insist I′m a piece of cake
Head out west, stake that claim
And forget everybody else's name
I can't say, knew you when
Let′s pretend so we can begin again
