She grew up where the land is flat Where the wind blows strong but never at her back Seventeen when her mama died She said the hardest thing was saying goodbye And she cried Oklahoma So much more we could have done Oklahoma You let her die here way too young She was way too young A leap of faith took her to Tennessee Where she met a boy who looked like me She fell in love while he played the part Then he broke her will just to break her heart And she cried Oklahoma So much more we could have done Oklahoma You let our love die way too young Ooh, we were way too young She waited around Hoping he would figure it out Hoping he would see he was wrong But he took too long And then the moment was gone So late one night she decided to leave Said she'd had enough of the hills in Tennessee Headed home where the land is flat With a gentle breeze steady at her back Ooh, and she cried Oklahoma So much still that's left undone Oklahoma Don't know why I left so young But I was way too young Ah hoo Ah hoo Ah hoo, ah hoo
