My Oklahoma Home - Bruce Springsteen

Bill Cunningham





E

When they opened up the strip 

	A		 E  	

I was young and full of zip

				B

I wanted someplace to call my home

     E

And so I made the race

     A	             E 	

And staked me out a place

                  B         E   

And settled down along the Cimarron

           A

It blowed away

           E 

It blowed away,

                            B

My Oklahoma home, it blown away

         E

Well it looked so green and fair 

        A               E   

When I built my shanty there

                 B               E

Now my Oklahoma home, is blown away





Well I planted wheat and oats

Got some chickens and some shoats

Aimed to have some ham and eggs to feed my face

Got a mule to pull the plow

Got an old red muley cow

And I also got a fancy mortgage on this place



Well it blowed away, it blowed away,

All the crops I planted blown away

You can't grow any grain 

If you ain’t got any rain

Everything except my mortgage blown away



Well it looked so green and fair

When I built my shanty there

I figured I was all set for life

I put on my Sunday best with my fancy scalloped vest

And I went to town to pick me out a wife

She blowed away

She blowed away



My Oklahoma woman blowed away

Mister as I bent to kiss her

She was picked up by a twister

My Oklahoma woman blowed away



Well then I was left alone just listenin' to the moan

Of wind around the corners of my shack

So I took off down the road yeah

When the south wind blowed

I traveled with the wind upon my back

I blowed away 

I blowed away



Chasin' that dust cloud up ahead

Once it looked so green and fair

Now it's up there in the air

My Oklahoma farm is over head



Well now I'm always close to home 

It don’t matter where I roam

For Oklahoma dust is everywhere

Makes no difference where I'm walkin'

I can hear my chickens squawkin'

I can hear my wife a-talkin' in the air

It blowed away

It blowed away



Yeah, my Oklahoma home it blown away

But my home Sir, is always near

It's up in the atmosphere

My Oklahoma home is blown away



Well I'm a roam’n Oklahoman

But I'm always close to home

I'll never get homesick until I die

Causew no matter where I'm found

My home’s all around

My Oklahoma home is in the sky

It blowed away

It blowed away



My farm down on Cimarron

Now all around the world

Wherever dust is swirled

There is some from my Oklahoma home



Oh and it’s blown away

It’s blown away



Oh my Oklahoma home is blown away

Yeah, it's up there in the sky 

In that dust cloud over n’ by

My Oklahoma home is in the sky
