Oklahoma Sooner Lyrics

[Verse 1]
This bar used to be ours
Now I'm walking in like a stranger
My friends askin' how I been
Hell, I guess it is six or eight months later

[Pre-Chorus 1]
And somehow I ain't moved on
Even though I've been gone
And that damn Tulsa sky still 'bout as blue as her eyes
Can't look at that too long
[Chorus]
Never thought I'd see the day the one that got away
Could turn back home into just some place
Up until now never understood how
They could call them stomping grounds a flyover state
She's the reason why I know what it's like
To find the love of your life and lose her
And why I havеn't been back
To Oklahoma Sooner

[Verse 2]
Chasing dreams and the wind
Anything to keep mе miles away
If I can be like an ol' tumbleweed
I'll never have to look back to where I've been
Somehow I ain't moved on
Even though I've been gone

[Pre-Chorus 2]
If mama gets to missin'
I'll buy her the ticket 'Cause I'm staying where my heartbreak isn't

[Chorus]
Never thought I'd see the day the one that got away
Could turn back home into just some place
Up until now never understood how
They could call them stomping grounds a flyover state
She's the reason why I know what it's like
To find the love of your life and lose her
And why I haven't been back
To Oklahoma Sooner
[Bridge]
I know how Oklahoma works
Red dirt roots are supposed to run deep
These days if anyone asks me, I'm from Tennessee

[Chorus]
Never thought I'd see the day the one that got away
Could turn back home into just some place
Up until now never understood how
They could call them stomping grounds a flyover state
She's the reason why I know what it's like
To find the love of your life and lose her
That's why I can't get past
A couple lines on the map
And why I haven't been back
To Oklahoma Sooner
