[Verse 1]
New York woman trying to make me love her
A sad eyed girl with rollers in her hair
Down the hall somebody's cooking cabbage
Kids're running up and down the stairs
I'd like to leave this God forsaken city
But I can't go no matter how I try
But once again I'll be in Oklahoma tonight
When I lay down and close my eyes
I'll be standing in that Oklahoma sunshine
Just got off a bus from another world
Kissing mom and shaking hands with papa
Drying the tears of an Oklahoma girl

[Chorus]
Standing in that Oklahoma sunshine
A dream that I have dreamed so many times
The blue eyed girl with the golden hair still loves me
When I go back to Oklahoma in my mind

[Verse 2]
When the cold wind blows in this big city
A part of me flies home to where it's warm
New York woman thinks that I'm still with her
Just because I'm sleeping in her arms

[Chorus]

[Outro]
Oh, I'll be standing in that Oklahoma sunshine
Just got off a bus from another world...
