Oklahoma Wind - Billy Joe Shaver[00:00:01]
Jesse lit us up and passed[00:00:15]
The bottle one more time[00:00:17]
We used to smoke[00:00:20]
And drink a lot back then[00:00:21]
Thunder shook the heavens[00:00:25]
And the lightning danced the sky[00:00:27]
Like i ain't seen since can't remember when[00:00:31]
The Oklahoma kid laid dying[00:00:36]
In a women's wing[00:00:39]
Just another indian biting dust[00:00:42]
Clouds grew dark in promise[00:00:47]
But they didn't rain a thing[00:00:49]
The government ain't something you can trust[00:00:53]
We picked a gig in Tulsa[00:01:00]
At the Cains ballroom that night[00:01:02]
The Oklahoma kid was dead and gone[00:01:06]
Rains still hadn't come[00:01:11]
But the clouds still blacked the sky[00:01:13]
That's when i took the time[00:01:17]
To write this song about the wrong[00:01:19]
Oh the Oklahoma wind[00:01:22]
Slides across the burning sand[00:01:24]
Over double crosses mother nature made[00:01:26]
And nothing's ever come[00:01:31]
As far as i'm concerned[00:01:34]
From those dead tomorrows planted yesterday[00:01:36]
The white man took a chance[00:01:48]
And got his foot hung in the door[00:01:50]
He sure as hell is gonna have his day[00:01:54]
The redman speaks his peace[00:01:59]
Gain his long lost dignity[00:02:01]
And Washington just turned the other way[00:02:05]
Jesse spends his days[00:02:13]
In Loco Hills New Mexico[00:02:14]
Every night he drinks his fill of booze[00:02:19]
When Williams ghost is running[00:02:23]
He lays his money down[00:02:25]
Winning just enough to lose to lose to lose to lose[00:02:29]
Oh the Oklahoma wind[00:02:33]
Slides across the burning sand[00:02:36]
Over double crosses mother nature made[00:02:38]
And nothing's ever come[00:02:43]
As far as i'm concerned[00:02:46]
From those dead tomorrows planted yesterday[00:02:48]
