the damn quails - oklahoma blue lyrics

[verse 1]
it was oklahoma city
it was on a rainy day
i headed down south to blanchard town
the place where i was raised
now when i was just a little boy
i took the urge to roam
and now these cold and lonely detroit streets
are the place i call my home

[chorus]
tell ol’ jackrabbit johnny i’m not too far gone
if he asks me what i’ve been up to
i’m a thousand miles away from home
and i’m oklahoma blue
baby, i’m oklahoma blue

[verse 2]
see i got me a job in detroit, baby
i was workin’ in a factory
i lost my job and i lost my card
[?] economy
now my hands are in my pockets
i’m standing out in the rain
and i wish i was down on the illinois river
just a-steaming down tahlequah lane

[chorus]
tell ol’ jackrabbit johnny i’m not too far gone
if he asks me what i’ve been up to
i’m a thousand miles away from home
and i’m oklahoma blue
baby, i’m oklahoma blue

[verse 3]
it’s them crazy cyclones and [?] jelly
watonga girls and the cheese
maybe just a little slow country talking
is the only thing i need
you know i can [play?] squeeze box, baby
but i never learned how to dance
and i ain’t never been down [?]
seen the streets of paris france
oh but i d-mn sure seen this sidewalk
and sung these hard-luck songs
i wish i could hear the scissortail singin’
the place i call home

[chorus]
tell ol’ jackrabbit johnny i’m not too far gone
if he asks me what i’ve been up to
i’m a thousand miles away from home
and i’m oklahoma blue
baby, i’m oklahoma blue
[chorus]
tell ol’ jackrabbit johnny i’m not too far gone
if he asks me what i’ve been up to
i’m a thousand miles away from home
and i’m oklahoma blue
baby, i’m oklahoma blue
baby, i’m oklahoma blue
