Oklahoma (Album Version)

Oklahoma (Album Version) - Billy Gilman

Suitcase packed with all his things

Car pulls up the door bell rings

He don't wanna go

He thought he'd found his home

But with circumstances he can't change

Waves good-bye as they pull away

From the life he's known

For the last seven months or so

She says we found a man that looks like you

Who cried and said he never knew

About the boy in pictures that we showed him

A rambler in his younger days

He knew he made a few mistakes

But he swore he would have been there

Had he known it

Son we think we found your dad in Oklahoma

A million thoughts raced through his mind

What's his name what's he like

And will he be anything like the man in his dreams

She could see the questions in his eyes

Wispered don't be scared my child

I will let you know what we know

About the man who that found he looks like you

Who cryed and said he never knew

About the boy in pictures that we showed him

A rambler in his younger days

He knew he'd made a few mistakes

But he swore he would have been there

Had he known it

He always said that

This was something that you wanted

Son it's time to meet your dad in Oklahoma

One last turn he held his breath

Till they reached the big house on the left

And all at once the tears came rollin in

And as they pulled into the drive

A man was waiting there outside

To wipe the worry from his eyes

Smiled and took his hand

And he said

I'm the man that looks like you

That cried because i never knew

About the boy in pictures that they showed me

A rambler in my younger days

I knew I made a few mistakes

But I swear I would have been there

Had I known it

Never again will you ever be alone

Son welcome to your home in Oklahoma

I END i
