only oklahoma away

the colorado rockies are cool this time of the year

and some little rock memories are making me wish you were here

but you're there in your world with your somebody new by your side

you're the first thing that i ever left that i can't leave behind

and you're only oklahoma away

i could be there in less than a day

but instead of just dreamin'

i should be leavin'

this is just too close to stay

when you're only oklahoma away

the colorado sun's going down i wish i could rise

i'd like to be standing there by your bed when you open your eyes

but lying between us is more than just one great divide

and oklahoma just might as well be a million miles wide

and you're only oklahoma away

i could be there in less than a day

but instead of just dreamin'

i should be leavin'

this is just too close to stay

when you're only oklahoma away

and you're only oklahoma away

i could be there in less than a day

but instead of just dreamin'

i should be leavin'

this is just too close to stay

when you're only oklahoma away

you're only oklahoma away
