Oklahoma Borderline

(Vince Gill/Rodney Crowell/Guy Clark)



Well it's rainin' 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 goin' back to Oklahoma, boys

'Cause that's where I belong



I need one good ride

I'll be satisfied

Come on Oklahoma borderline

If we roll all night

She'll be comin' into sight

Come on Oklahoma borderline



Well now I don't need no Texas girl

Doggin' 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 that I'm comin' home And I'm leavin' out tonight



I need one good ride

I'll be satisfied

Come on Oklahoma borderline

If we roll all night

She'll be comin' into sight

Come on Oklahoma borderline



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



I need one good ride

I'll be satisfied

Come on Oklahoma borderline

If we roll all night

She'll be comin' into sight

Come on Oklahoma borderline



I caught one good ride

She's comin' into sight

Hello Oklahoma borderline
