lyrics

Goodbye Louisiana bayou
Hello Oklahoma, how do you do?

Grew up poor, wanting more
My folks could not help pay for school
Got approved, made the move
Gonna prove I'm nobody's fool
[chorus]

First days, new place
Made a couple new friends
Then I got asked, "Hey boy! Can ya dance?"
"Yes!" and now the fun begins
[chorus]

Worked hard, stay inspired
We'd get together after class
Sure enough, fell in love
Weren't none too careful about that
[chorus]

In a month or so, don't you know
Things were about to change for good
We took a walk, she said "We need to talk"
I knew before she said the words
[chorus]

It's no joke, some folks
Live the lives I see in my dreams
I dream all night and live my live
In the spaces in between
[chorus]
