lyrics
This is as far as my wheels will take me
As good enough a place as any
Down in the dirt I found a lucky penny
By the side of the road
My lucky number three on a ticket for the lottery
Among the treasures I can keep for free
By the side of the road
Oklahoma by the Neosho
In a field of flowers with nowhere to go
With my self to lose by the evening sky
Send an Oklahoma girl to give me a ride
Roads snake and rivers wind
The prairie waves to your state of mind
All you've lost you might just find
By the side of the road
The earth is tattooed by tar
And growing out of every scar
A flower growing like a star
By the side of the road
Oklahoma by the Neosho
In a field of flowers with nowhere to go
With my self to lose by the evening sky
Send an Oklahoma girl to give me a ride
There was an only son
His shoelace mind came undone
Watch him run and trip over the sun
By the side of the road
A steel tower stood tall
On the top floor against a wall
A suit and a tie and a long way to fall
To the side of the road
Oklahoma by the Neosho
In a field of flowers with nowhere to go
With my self to lose by the evening sky
Send an Oklahoma girl to give me a ride
Oklahoma is where I'm free
In a field of flowers in reverie
Oklahoma girl with a heart of gold
Find me by the side of the road
As good enough a place as any
Down in the dirt I found a lucky penny
By the side of the road
My lucky number three on a ticket for the lottery
Among the treasures I can keep for free
By the side of the road
Oklahoma by the Neosho
In a field of flowers with nowhere to go
With my self to lose by the evening sky
Send an Oklahoma girl to give me a ride
Roads snake and rivers wind
The prairie waves to your state of mind
All you've lost you might just find
By the side of the road
The earth is tattooed by tar
And growing out of every scar
A flower growing like a star
By the side of the road
Oklahoma by the Neosho
In a field of flowers with nowhere to go
With my self to lose by the evening sky
Send an Oklahoma girl to give me a ride
There was an only son
His shoelace mind came undone
Watch him run and trip over the sun
By the side of the road
A steel tower stood tall
On the top floor against a wall
A suit and a tie and a long way to fall
To the side of the road
Oklahoma by the Neosho
In a field of flowers with nowhere to go
With my self to lose by the evening sky
Send an Oklahoma girl to give me a ride
Oklahoma is where I'm free
In a field of flowers in reverie
Oklahoma girl with a heart of gold
Find me by the side of the road
