Oklahoma Rose (First Take) (Feat. Gatlin Johnson)

Well, it always rains in Oklahoma
Every time I try to drive away
Oh, it always rains in Oklahoma
Oh, and it feels like she's begging me to stay

Driving 'round Tulsa
Don't wanna leave too fast
In case there's a chance she's missing me
And wants to revisit the past
Rains came in late October
Flooded every road I'd known
Now I'm here on this turnpike all alone

Oh, it always rains in Oklahoma
Every time I try to drive away
Oh, it always rains in Oklahoma
Oh, and it feels like she's begging me to stay

When I cross that red river
Oh, it'll be dry as a bone
Trade my Oklahoma rose
For my bluebonnets at home
Driving south I-35
Blowing against the wind
Don't you worry 'bout Oklahoma
She's just a friend

And it always rains in Oklahoma
Every time I try to drive away
Oh, it always rains in Oklahoma
I know she's just begging me to stay

Oh Lord, I want to stay
