Lyrics

MILLIE FROM OKLAHOMA


Millie from Oklahoma
She's looking for another man
To avoid the pain of loneliness
She'll do anything she can
But she knows what's gonna happen
When the rooster greets the dawn
She'll reach across her bed
But he'll already be gone

She said cowboy sit down
And talk a while with me
Buy me a whiskey
Maybe two or three
Tell me that I'm pretty
It always makes me smile
Whiskey gets me talking
And I plan to talk a while


She's 46 and holding
The rose has lost its bloom
She never was a bride
And there never was a groom
She never found her true love
And she can not hide her grudge
People think she's crazy
But they're too damn quick to judge

She said cowboy sit down
and talk a while with me
Buy me a whiskey
Maybe two or three
Tell me that I'm pretty
It always makes me smile
Whiskey gets me talking
and I plan to talk a while



She fell in love so many times
She couldn't count them all
Just like Humpty Dumpty
She falls right off the wall
But you can not blame the cowboy
They do what cowboys do
You'd think she ought to know by now
But she hasn't got a clue

She said cowboy sit down
Talk a while with me
Buy me a whiskey
Maybe two or three
Tell me that I'm pretty
It always makes me smile
Whiskey gets me talking
and I plan to talk a while


Her mama and her daddy
Are buried in Tennessee
She lost them in a car wreck
At the tender age of three
Foster homes and cowboys
Leave wounds that never heal
She never found her true love
And I bet she never will

She said cowboy sit down
And talk a while with me
Buy me a whiskey
Or maybe six or twenty three
Tell me that I'm pretty
It always makes me smile
You see--that whiskey gets me talking
And I plan to talk a while
