Oklahoma City - Live

Old friend, it's been awhile

I ain't spoke to you in years

And often times, boys from this town

Put wheels down and disappear

Ms. Cole asked about you just three days back

I had no answer to give her

Told her that you moved way out west

To write some songs and grow a little more bitter

Kids talk about you around here

Like you're some kind of legend

Wonder if they know a thousand sunrises ago

You were eager just like them

If you ever decide to bring your pain and your pride

Back to this side of Oklahoma City

Thеre'll be a porch light on from the post you lеaned on

'Fore you wound up on the wrong side of pity

And often times I pray for you and often times I don't

Is it the goodbyes that haunt you or the fear of new hellos?

Won't stay for long 'cause you won't stop your runnin'

Wait for tomorrow 'til tomorrow's not comin'

Mr. Lucas Ruge-Jones[Verse 2]

Heard you landed in Tulsa while he slipped away

Is that the reason you're fleein' fields we hauled hay?

Heat this July or the dark last December

Look in my eyes and you might remember

Weed out in Norman, the Stillwater strip

Run far enough, boy, and you're bound to trip

If you ever decide to bring your pain and your pride

Back to this side of Oklahoma City

Be a porch light on from the post you leaned on

'Fore you wound up on the wrong side of pity

And often times I pray for you and often times I don't

Is it the goodbyes that haunt you or the fear of new hellos?

Won't stay for long 'cause you won't stop your runnin'

Wait for tomorrow 'til tomorrow's not comin'

If you ever decide to bring your pain and your pride

Back to this side of Oklahoma City

Be a porch light on from the post you leaned on

'Fore you wound up on the wrong side of pity

And often times I pray for you and often times I don't

Is it the goodbyes that haunt you, fear of new hellos?

Won't stay for long 'cause you won't stop your runnin'

Wait for tomorrow 'til tomorrow's not comin'[Outro]

It's pretty cold up here, my guitar went crazy outta tune, but we're still doin' it

Everyone feelin' okay?

Not freezin' too bad?

That's real nice

I'm so sorry we're havin' you guys bear through this this evenin'
