[Verse 1]
GThis old town's
Been a-bringin' me down
For Cwhat seems like a Glifetime
GI made a lot of noise
Tryin' to find that voice
DThat I'd one day call mine
GWhen I turned eighteen
GrandCdaddy told me
He said G"Boy, you're Dthe lost Cgeneration"
GSo I packed my bags
With Cwhat little I had
And I Dset out to Cprove him wGrong
[Chorus]
I'm headed out to COklaGhoma
COut with the dust and the Gwind
CI got a funny fGeelin', baby
That wDe're gonna fit right in
GOut there in COklaGhoma
CI'll be standin' Gtall
CIf anyone asks, you can Gfind me out
In the lDand where Cwork conquers Gall
[Verse 2]
GI turned my back
And I got sidetracked
Before I Cever hit BirminghaGm
GIt took a summer shoein' horses
In northern Georgia
To Dfind out who I am
I hit a Chot streak in GBiloxi
Lost it all by San CAntone
But Gsooner or later that CSooner State's
Gonna Dbe where CI call Ghome
[Chorus]
I'm headed out to COklaGhoma
COut with the dust and the Gwind
CI got a funny fGeelin', baby
That wDe're gonna fit right in
GOut there in COklaGhoma
CI'll be standin' Gtall
CIf anyone asks, you can Gfind me out
In the lDand where Cwork conquers Gall
[Verse 3]
GThought I'd hit it big
Out west on a rig
But I's a Ccouple years too Glate
GSo I got me some land
Just north of Durant
Hope it Dpays off big one day
GWhat I found here
Ain't Ceasy
But it Gsuits me all the Csame
So Glook me up in the Cpages
If you ever Dmake it Cout this Gway
[Chorus]
I'm headed out to COklaGhoma
COut with the dust and the Gwind
CI got a funny fGeelin', baby
That wDe're gonna fit right in
GOut there in COklaGhoma
CI'll be standin' Gtall
CIf anyone asks, I found Gmy path
In the lDand where Cwork conquers Gall
In the Dland where Cwork conquers aGll

[Verse 1]

This old town's

Been a-bringin' me down

C G

For what seems like a lifetime

I made a lot of noise

Tryin' to find that voice

That I'd one day call mine

When I turned eighteen

Granddaddy told me

G D C

He said "Boy, you're the lost generation"

So I packed my bags

With what little I had

D C G

And I set out to prove him wrong

[Chorus]

C G

I'm headed out to Oklahoma

C G

Out with the dust and the wind

C G

I got a funny feelin', baby

That we're gonna fit right in

G C G

Out there in Oklahoma

C G

I'll be standin' tall

C G

If anyone asks, you can find me out

D C G

In the land where work conquers all

[Verse 2]

I turned my back

And I got sidetracked

C G

Before I ever hit Birmingham

It took a summer shoein' horses

In northern Georgia

To find out who I am

C G

I hit a hot streak in Biloxi

Lost it all by San Antone

G C

But sooner or later that Sooner State's

D C G

Gonna be where I call home

[Chorus]

C G

I'm headed out to Oklahoma

C G

Out with the dust and the wind

C G

I got a funny feelin', baby

That we're gonna fit right in

G C G

Out there in Oklahoma

C G

I'll be standin' tall

C G

If anyone asks, you can find me out

D C G

In the land where work conquers all

[Verse 3]

Thought I'd hit it big

Out west on a rig

C G

But I's a couple years too late

So I got me some land

Just north of Durant

Hope it pays off big one day

What I found here

Ain't easy

G C

But it suits me all the same

G C

So look me up in the pages

D C G

If you ever make it out this way

[Chorus]

C G

I'm headed out to Oklahoma

C G

Out with the dust and the wind

C G

I got a funny feelin', baby

That we're gonna fit right in

G C G

Out there in Oklahoma

C G

I'll be standin' tall

C G

If anyone asks, I found my path

D C G

In the land where work conquers all

D C G

In the land where work conquers all
