SHE CRIES AT NIGHT (ALONE IN OKLAHOMA)

TAXI # L-1304-3048

Just seventeen, a Tulsa girl,
She loved the two step dances,
She stayed out late one summer date,
And in a back seat took her chances.

A heavy price for one mistake,
The baby?s on its way
She weds a boy that she don?t love,
To honor and obey

Chorus:
(Now) she cries at night alone in Oklahoma
She wonders what she?s ever gonna do
Her tears rain down again in Oklahoma,
She never knew she had so much to lose.

He blames her for the whining kids
Can?t stand the leaky trailer,
He?s angry at the dead end jobs,
Each night he stays out later.

Dark glasses and a baggy shirt,
Don?t cover all the pain,
She can?t hide the children?s hurt,
Will she ever break the chain?

Chorus:
(Now) she cries at night alone in Oklahoma
She wonders what she?s ever gonna do
Her tears rain down again in Oklahoma,
She never knew she had so much to lose.

Bridge:
She was raised on country dreams,
Of a little farm and horses,
But all she dreams of now?are
Anger and divorces.

Chorus:
(So) she cries at night alone in Oklahoma
She wonders what she?s ever gonna do
Her tears rain down again in Oklahoma,
She never knew she had so much to lose.

Tag:
(No) she never knew she had so much to lose.
