Oklahoma City by the Mornin

I’ll make Oklahoma City by the mornin

I’m headed up from east Texas tonight

And it don’t matter how I make it

But I’ll make it, cause I’ve got you on my mind

I’ve been gone so long now I can’t remember

All the times we spent that last December

I promised you I’d be back home before next winter

But every day I’m gone, that promise gets harder and harder to keep

Here I am now 6 years later down the road

I still feel her love weighin heavy on my soul

I know I broke that promise

But I keep holdin out hope

That my girl’s still waitin for me

Cause baby, I’m finally headed home

I’ll make Oklahoma City by the mornin

I’m headed up from east Texas tonight

And it don’t matter how I make it

But I’ll make it, cause I’ve got you on my mind

I’ve been a long time gone

But my heart’s stayed holdin on

To every single little memory of you

Your momma said you been gone a long time too

She finally told me the news

I guess the cancer finally caught up with you

She said that you stayed strong through it all

But there comes a time

When we all gotta answer

The good Lord’s call

You just wanted me to go out and chase my own dreams

So you kept it all a secret,

And I never knew a thing

You fought so hard and far too long

But I’d take it all back

Just to be right by your side, all along

Yeah I made Oklahoma City this mornin

I left ol east Texas behind

Baby I finally made it back home

And I placed roses right by your grave side
