My Oklahoma Home - Bruce Springsteen[00:00:00]
When they opened up the strip I was young and full of zip [00:00:18]
I wanted some place to call my own[00:00:23]
And so I made the race and staked me out a place [00:00:27]
And settled down along the Cimarron[00:00:32]
It blowed away it blowed away [00:00:36]
My Oklahoma home it blowed away[00:00:41]
Well it looked so green and fair when I built my shanty there [00:00:46]
But my Oklahoma home it blowed away[00:00:50]
I planted wheat and oats got some chickens and some shoats [00:00:55]
Aimed to have some ham and eggs to feed my face[00:01:00]
Got a mule to pull the plow got an old red muley cow[00:01:04]
And I also got a fancy mortgage on the place[00:01:08]
It blowed away it blowed away [00:01:12]
All the crops I planted blowed away[00:01:17]
Well you can't grow any grain if you ain't got any rain;[00:01:22]
Everything except the mortgage blowed away[00:01:26]
It looked so green and fair when I built my shanty there [00:01:49]
I figured I was all set for life[00:01:54]
I put on my Sunday best with my fancy scalloped vest[00:01:58]
And went to town and picked me out a wife[00:02:02]
She blowed away she blowed away[00:02:07]
My Oklahoma woman blowed away[00:02:11]
Mister as I bent and kissed her she was picked up by a twister;[00:02:16]
My Oklahoma woman blowed away[00:02:21]
Well then I was left alone a-listenin' to the moan[00:02:25]
Of the wind around the corners of my shack;[00:02:29]
So I took off down the road when the south wind blowed [00:02:33]
A-travelin' with the wind upon my back[00:02:38]
I blowed away I blowed away[00:02:42]
Chasin that dust cloud up ahead[00:02:46]
Once it looked so green and fair now it's up there in the air;[00:02:51]
My Oklahoma farm is overhead[00:02:56]
Now I'm always close to home no matter where I roam [00:03:18]
For Oklahoma dust is everywhere[00:03:23]
Makes no difference where I'm walkin' I can hear my chickens squawkin'[00:03:27]
I can hear my wife a-talkin' in the air[00:03:31]
It blowed away it blowed away [00:03:35]
My Oklahoma home blowed away[00:03:39]
But my home is always near; it's in the atmosphere [00:03:44]
My Oklahoma home that blowed away[00:03:49]
Now I'm a roamin' Oklahoman but I'm always close to home[00:04:01]
And I'll never get homesick 'til I die[00:04:06]
Cause no matter where I'm found my home is all around;[00:04:10]
My Oklahoma home is in the sky[00:04:15]
It blowed away it blowed away [00:04:19]
My farm down upon the Cimarron[00:04:23]
Well now all around the world wherever dust is whirled [00:04:28]
There's some from my Oklahoma home[00:04:32]
It blowed away it blowed away [00:04:36]
Yeah my Oklahoma home blowed away [00:04:40]
Yes it's up there in the sky[00:04:45]
In that dust cloud rolling by[00:04:47]
My Oklahoma home is blowed away[00:04:49]
Well its blowed away it blowed away [00:05:27]
My Oklahoma home blowed away [00:05:32]
It's up there in the sky in that dust cloud rolling by[00:05:36]
My Oklahoma home is in the sky[00:05:40]
