Verse: 1 This old town's Been a-bringin' me down For what seems like a lifetime I made a lot of noise Tryin' to find that voice That I'd one day call mine When I turned eighteen Granddaddy told me He said "Boy, you're the lost generation" So I packed my bags With what little I had And I set out to prove him wrong I'm headed out to Oklahoma Out with the dust and the wind I got a funny feelin', baby That we're gonna fit right in Out there in Oklahoma I'll be standin' tall If anyone asks, you can find me out In the land where work conquers all Verse: 2 I turned my back And I got sidetracked Before I ever hit Birmingham It took a summer shoein' horses In northern Georgia To find out who I am I hit a hot streak in Biloxi Lost it all by San Antone But sooner or later that Sooner State's Gonna be where I call home I'm headed out to Oklahoma Out with the dust and the wind I got a funny feelin', baby That we're gonna fit right in Out there in Oklahoma I'll be standin' tall If anyone asks, you can find me out In the land where work conquers all Verse: 3 Thought I'd hit it big Out west on a rig But I's a couple years too late So I got me some land Just north of Durant Hope it pays off big one day What I found here Ain't easy But it suits me all the same So look me up in the pages If you ever make it out this way I'm headed out to Oklahoma Out with the dust and the wind I got a funny feelin', baby That we're gonna fit right in Out there in Oklahoma I'll be standin' tall If anyone asks, I found my path In the land where work conquers all In the land where work conquers all
