Oklahoma - Bob Schneider

She came from Oklahoma

She said the end of the world

Was on its way in a Chevy nova

She came from Oklahoma

She said the end of the world

Was on its way in a Chevy nova

Her smile was just a shadow

That trembled in the sun

And turned to stone as she grew older

Her smile was just a shadow

That trembled in the sun

And turned to stone as she grew older

She bought an El Camino

And a pocket full of pills she called her

And swore she’s found salvation

But the hand grenades inside her

Where ready to explode

And the pins were pulled long ago

By sweet temptation

She found herself in New Orleans

With carnival of tears upon her veins

In the arms of strangers

When the lies where not enough

To hold back all the years of pain

She’d lie inside the danger and cry

You can tie me to the ground but not today

I need me one more chance to fly away

And tonight I’m gonna fly away
