Oklahoma

Suitcase packed with all his things

  • Suitcase packed with all his things
  • Car pulls up the door bell rings
  • He don't wanna go
  • He thought he'd found his home
  • But with circumstances he can't change
  • Waves good-bye as they pull away
  • From the life he's known
  • For the last seven months or so
  • She says we found a man that looks like you
  • Who cried and said he never knew
  • About the boy in pictures that we showed him
  • A rambler in his younger days
  • He knew he made a few mistakes
  • But he swore he would have been there
  • Had he known it
  • Son we think we found your dad in Oklahoma
  • A million thoughts raced through his mind
  • What's his name what's he like
  • And will he be anything like the man in his dreams
  • She could see the questions in his eyes
  • Wispered don't be scared my child
  • I will let you know what we know
  • About the man who that found he looks like you
  • Who cryed and said he never knew
  • About the boy in pictures that we showed him
  • A rambler in his younger days
  • He knew he'd made a few mistakes
  • But he swore he would have been there
  • Had he known it
  • He always said that
  • This was something that you wanted
  • Son it's time to meet your dad in Oklahoma
  • One last turn he held his breath
  • Till they reached the big house on the left
  • And all at once the tears came rollin in
  • And as they pulled into the drive
  • A man was waiting there outside
  • To wipe the worry from his eyes
  • Smiled and took his hand
  • And he said
  • I'm the man that looks like you
  • That cried because i never knew
  • About the boy in pictures that they showed me
  • A rambler in my younger days
  • I knew I made a few mistakes
  • But I swear I would have been there
  • Had I known it
  • Never again will you ever be alone
  • Son welcome to your home in Oklahoma
