Oklahoma

Lyrics

[Intro] One, two One, two, three [Verse 1] We were shaking in our beds that night There were strangers in the streets that night Preacher cried out, "Hell's been raised" The preacher cried out, "Hell's been raised" Another hot, Oklahoma night Another hot, Oklahoma night The kind of night where you just sit still The kind of night where you just don't move We were shaking in our beds that night We were shaking in our boots that night Tornado hit, and the roof gave way Tornado hit, and all we could do was pray [Chorus] How was I to know what I was to think? How was I to know what I was to feel? How am I to fake what I can't describe? How am I to face what I cannot hide? [Verse 2] We were sinking in our hearts that day There was movement in our hearts that day They were talking, but we could not hear They were talking, but we could not hear Fever broke, and the death raised up The ground broke open, and the dead were raised The kind of night where you just sit spooked In a hard life, in a hard life We were locking in our hearts that day We were hugging in our beds that night Storm hit, and the roof gave way When a man sat down, uneasy And it tore through the young man's room [Chorus] How was I to know what I was to think? How was I to know what I was to feel? How am I to fake what I can't describe? How am I to face what I cannot hide? [Bridge] One, two, three Momma said you know she ain't down Woo [Verse 3] We were lying in our hearts that day We were praying in our hearts that day We were praying, but we could not feel They were praying, but we could not feel Another hot, Oklahoma night Another Oklahoma night Fools past, and the day breaks wide Heaven's fools were opened wide I couldn't have said, "Give up" Said, "I can't stop, the night's not gone" I made a full moon again that day When my heart splits me open And all I could do was pray [Chorus] How was I to know what I was to think? How was I to know what I was to feel? How am I to face what I cannot hide? How am I to say what I cannot hide?
