Lyrics

OKLAHOMA NIGHTS
James Michael Taylor

CHORUS
Carefully the boats are tied up to the shore
And the fish are jumping in the night, in the night
And the wind has found a reed and she's blowing it right

Now the water is a waving and the fish are a jumping
And you know I been saving and I think I found something
To spend it on a warm OKLAHOMA NIGHT

If the lake was a river, I'd be floating upstream
Sitting here a singing while the children dream
And I'm singing it all on a warm OKLAHOMA NIGHT

CHORUS

Now, the guards are a guarding and the lights are a lighting
And the cases will harden as the tension will heighten
And I'm feeling it all on a warm OKLAHOMA NIGHT

And they're locking up the minnows and they're locking up the bars
But they can't stop this city girl from talking to the stars
And I'm saying it all on a warm OKLAHOMA NIGHT

CHORUS (2)
The water is splashing almost to my feet
And the fish are a dancing in the light, in the light
And the wind has found her a reed and she's blowing it right

Instrumental break

Now the skunk and the opossum are a looking for food
They can tell the gal singing is friendly dude
And I'm singing it all on a warm OKLAHOMA NIGHT

The boats are arriving and the fish are all dead
I'm sitting here a writing just a shaking my head
And I'm catching it all on a warm OKLAHOMA NIGHT

CHORUS
