Oklahoma USA

(album: Our Country: Americana Act II - 2018)

All life we work but work is a bore
If life's for living, then what's living for?
She lives in a house that's near decay
Built for the industrial revolution

Lost in her dreams she is far, far away
In Oklahoma, U.S.A.

With Shirley Jones and Gordon MacRae
As she buys her paper at the corner shop
She's walking on the surrey with the fringe on top

Still lost in her dreams she is far, far away
In Oklahoma, U.S.A., oh yeah

She goes to work but she's still in a daze
She's Rita Hayworth or Doris Day
And Errol Flynn, he's gonna take her away
To Oklahoma, U.S.A.

All life we work but work is a bore
If life's for living then what's living for?

Still lost in her dreams she is far, far away
In Oklahoma, U.S.A., oh yeah

She goes to work but she's still in a daze
She's Rita Hayworth or Doris Day
And Errol Flynn, he's gonna take her away
To Oklahoma, U.S.A.

All life we work but work is a bore
If life's for living then what's living for?
