Oklahoma Sunshine

I can almost smell the hickory smoke
Hear the fireside talk of the old home folks
See the roses on the hillside growing wild
I can almost touch the Dogwood trees
Taste the air and the memories
Scenes that I grew up on as a child

Where there were babies runnin' naked in the summertime
Old clothes hanging on an old clothesline
Fishin' on the lake with a long-lost friend of mine
In the Oklahoma sunshine

Well, I grew up and I moved away
But I can't forget about the good ol' days
Thinkin' about the way life used to be
Yeah, I got married and I had some kids
Now I tell em bout the things I did
Paintin' pictures of a world they'll never see

Where there were babies runnin' naked in the summertime
Old clothes hanging on an old clothesline
Fishin' on the lake with a long-lost friend of mine
In the Oklahoma sunshine

Well, I ain't saying that my life is bad
But Lord I wish that I only had
The comforts that they can't build in machines
Like lots of space with room to grow
Air to breathe and a country road
That leads to someplace peaceful and serene

Where there were babies runnin' naked in the summertime
Old clothes hanging on an old clothesline
Fishin' on the lake with a long-lost friend of mine
In the Oklahoma sunshine
