Oklahoma Borderline

(album: The Things That Matter - 1985)

Well it's raining down in Houston
And I got holes in both my shoes
Baby's put me on the street
She says "I'm through with you"

She thinks I'm gonna miss her
Someone tell her that she's wrong
I'm going back to Oklahoma, boys
'Cause that's where I belong

[Chorus:]
I need one good ride
I'll be satisfied
Come on Oklahoma borderline
If we roll all night
She'll be coming into sight
Come on Oklahoma borderline

Well now I don't need no Texas girl
Dogging me around
I may be a Okie, son
But I've still been to town

Well those Oklahoma city girls
They always treat you right
Well tell mama and them I'm coming home
And I'm leaving out tonight

[Chorus]

So with two bucks in my pocket
And my thumb stuck in the wind
When I cross Red River, boys
I won't be back again

Give me old back roads and truck stops
And 18 wheels that whine
And some good ol' boy to take me
To that Oklahoma line

[Chorus]

I caught one good ride
She's coming into sight
Hello Oklahoma borderline
