Oklahoma Lyrics by Billy Gilman

Oklahoma Lyrics

    -d. vincent williams, john allen-

    Suitcase packed with all his things
    Car pulls up, the doorbell rings
    He don't want to go
    He thought he'd found his home
    But with circumstances he can't change
    Waves goodbye as they pull away
    From the life he's known
    For the last seven months or so

    She said we found the man who looks like you
    Who cried and said he never knew
    About the boy in pictures that we showed him
    A rambler in his younger days
    He knew he made a few mistakes
    But he swore he would have been there
    Had he known it
    Son we think we found your dad in oklahoma

    A million thoughts raced through his mind
    What's his name, what's he like and will be be
    Anything like the man in his dreams
    She could see the questions in his eyes
    Whispered "don't be scared my child
    I'll let you know, what we know

    About the man we found, he looks like you
    And cried and said he never knew
    About the boy in pictures that we showed him
    A rambler in his younger days he knew he'd made a few mistakes
    But he swore he would've been there had he known it
    You always said that this was something that you wanted
    Son it's time to meet your dad in oklahoma

    One last turn he held his breath
    'til they reached the fifth house on the left
    And all at once the tears came rolling in
    And as they pulled into the drive
    A man was waiting there outside
    Who wiped the worry from his eyes smiled and took his hand

    And he said i'm the man who looks like you
    Who cried because i never knew
    About that boy in pictures that they showed me
    A rambler in my younger days i knew i made a few mistakes
    But i swear i would have been there had i known it
    Never again will you ever be alone
    Son welcome to your home in oklahoma
