I'm going back to Oklahoma
I guess I knew it when I left
I'm going back to Oklahoma
Oklahoma, my home
The only place for me

I must go, I've been waiting too long
When I came to this town I thought that I really was strong
But my life's been a pain, it drives me insane
I really must go and se my folks now

I'm going back to Oklahoma
I've got a girl who's waiting there
I must go back to Oklahoma
Where the fish jumps high in the water
And the air is high and clean
Where a man just do what he oughta'
Oklahoma, my home, the only place for me

I've been a fool, acting just like a clown
In the city I stay the people will just bring me down
And the letters I write are filled up with lies
I really must go and see my folks now

I'm going back to Oklahoma
I've got a girl who's waiting there
I'm going back to Oklahoma
Where the sun is warm in the morning
And the air is high and clean
Where I'll wake up fresh with a yawning
