"Oklahoma" lyrics

"Oklahoma"

One, two, one, two, three

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

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

We were looking 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 dead raised up
The ground broke open and the dead were raised
The kind of night where you just sit spooked
It's a hard life, it's a hard life
We were knocking in our hearts that day
We were hugging in our beds that night
Storm hit and the roof gave way
When a man cries it ain't easy
But he swore duty, body and soul

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

Momma said you know she ain't down

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 part as the day breaks wide
Heaven's fools who were opened wide
I quit, so I said give up
Said I can't stop the light's not gone
I met a full moon again that day
And my heart rips open and all I could do was pray

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
