Land Of The Red Man

(album: Parker Millsap - 2014)

Well, it's hotter than Hell down here in Oklahoma
I guess that I might as well get used to it and quit my moaning
'Cause the Devil, he's alive and well, and he's found himself a new poem

Well, he's burning the wheat and drinking up all the water
Do a rain dance Mama, and lay your life at the alter
We're all gonna drown in a drought if it gets any hotter

I was leaving Oklahoma. I had to make me some new friends
'Cause the Devil, he cooked all the books, and he burned all the blueprints
Well, he ran for office, and he won. Now, we got ourselves a new prince

Now, I'm stuck at the border. I ain't on their checklist
They said, "We don't like you Okies down here. You're a little too reckless."
Well, maybe Oklahoma's hotter than Hell, but it's better than Texas
