Verse 1:
G+G
This old town's

Been a-bringin' me down
  C majorC         G+G
For what seems like a lifetime
G+G
I made a lot of noise

Tryin' to find that voice
D MajorD
That I'd one day call mine
G+G
When I turned eighteen
   C majorC
Granddaddy told me
    G+G      D MajorD     C majorC
He said "Boy, you're the lost generation"
G+G
So I packed my bags
   C majorC
With what little I had
   D MajorD     C majorC     G+G
And I set out to prove him wrong

Chorus:
         C majorC  G+G
I'm headed out to Oklahoma
C majorC             G+G
Out with the dust and the wind
C majorC       G+G
I got a funny feelin', baby
   D MajorD
That we're gonna fit right in
G+G      C majorC  G+G
Out there in Oklahoma
C majorC        G+G
I'll be standin' tall
C majorC            G+G
If anyone asks, you can find me out
    D MajorD     C majorC       G+G
In the land where work conquers all


Verse 2:
G+G
I turned my back

And I got sidetracked
     C majorC         G+G
Before I ever hit Birmingham
G+G
It took a summer shoein' horses

In northern Georgia
  D MajorD
To find out who I am
    C majorC       G+G
I hit a hot streak in Biloxi
          C majorC
Lost it all by San Antone
  G+G          C majorC
But sooner or later that Sooner State's
   D MajorD    C majorC   G+G
Gonna be where I call home

Chorus:
         C majorC  G+G
I'm headed out to Oklahoma
C majorC             G+G
Out with the dust and the wind
C majorC       G+G
I got a funny feelin', baby
   D MajorD
That we're gonna fit right in
G+G      C majorC  G+G
Out there in Oklahoma
C majorC        G+G
I'll be standin' tall
C majorC            G+G
If anyone asks, you can find me out
    D MajorD     C majorC       G+G
In the land where work conquers all


Verse 3:
G+G
Thought I'd hit it big

Out west on a rig
     C majorC        G+G
But I's a couple years too late
G+G
So I got me some land

Just north of Durant
    D MajorD
Hope it pays off big one day
G+G
What I found here
   C majorC
Ain't easy
    G+G        C majorC
But it suits me all the same
  G+G         C majorC
So look me up in the pages
      D MajorD    C majorC    G+G
If you ever make it out this way


Chorus:
         C majorC  G+G
I'm headed out to Oklahoma
C majorC             G+G
Out with the dust and the wind
C majorC       G+G
I got a funny feelin', baby
   D MajorD
That we're gonna fit right in
G+G      C majorC  G+G
Out there in Oklahoma
C majorC        G+G
I'll be standin' tall
C majorC            G+G
If anyone asks, I found my path
    D MajorD     C majorC       G+G
In the land where work conquers all
    D MajorD     C majorC       G+G
In the land where work conquers all
