lyrics

i was going down the road gonna play me a show
at a little bar in el reno
when out popped a man thumbbing his hand
saying "please help me amigo!"
well he jumped in we started cruisin
listening to the radio
when we got passed by a texan haulin ass
he said "friend there's something you should know!

All the Okie's say it
and I swear it's a fact
the Texans stole Oklahoma music
and they don't want to give it back!

now Bob Wills sang 'Take me back to Tulsa'
and he played the 'Oklahoma Rag'
and Wayon sang about the Okie Sunshine
and that ain't the half of it man
you see every Texan loves Merle Haggard
and of course Woody Guthrie
but they're both about as Oklahoman as
Red Dirt can be!
