Lyrics

Oklahoma Lullaby

A freshly painted yellow house that she has made a home
It's nothing you'd call fancy, but it's what they call their own
There's hand me downs and fixer ups and they all seem to fill the house just fine
She sees the crimson sunset sky as she puts the dinner on
Gravel underneath the tires say Daddy's finely home
The cries of joy from Daddy's boy can't help but make her smile
The sounds of her life make music
She hears the melody play through it
She listens with her heart it keeps her soul alive
It's her Oklahoma lullaby

She opens up the window and hears the rustling air
Humming of the June bugs as her baby says his bedtime prayer
Her husband whispers in her ear, " I love you honey" as they head on down the hall
The sounds of her life make music
She hears the melody play through it
She listens with her heart it keeps her soul alive
It's her Oklahoma lullaby

There are days she'll stop and dream about the chances that she had to move away
If she had made a different choice she wonders what her life would be today
Then Oklahoma calls her home
The sounds of her life make music
She hears the melody play through it
She listens with her heart it keeps her soul alive
It's her Oklahoma lullaby
