Oklahoma '47 Songtext

Oklahoma '47 Songtext
Why you gotta run, why you gotta run?
Why you gotta run like you just killed someone?
1947 on the midnight train.
Sweatin′ blood like I ain't never seen a gun in this gang.
Old John Parker acts like Billy the Kid,
drinking gin like there ain′t water in the town that he lives.
Young Hank Thomas ain't but 12 years old,
out a school, I wish he never signed his name on that scroll.
Blind Jack Forest ain't blind at all,
he′ll cut out your tongue if you question his call.
Three Shot Susie, she′ll get you in two.
Turning blue, she's got me guessing every move that I do.
It′s time to jump this train, though it started real nice.
I'll run to Oklahoma and I′ll start a new life.
Why you gotta run like you just killed someone?
1947 on the midnight train.
Sweatin′ blood like I ain't never seen a gun in this gang.
Old John Parker acts like Billy the Kid,
drinking gin like there ain′t water in the town that he lives.
Young Hank Thomas ain't but 12 years old,
out a school, I wish he never signed his name on that scroll.
Blind Jack Forest ain't blind at all,
he′ll cut out your tongue if you question his call.
Three Shot Susie, she′ll get you in two.
Turning blue, she's got me guessing every move that I do.
It′s time to jump this train, though it started real nice.
I'll run to Oklahoma and I′ll start a new life.
