BILLY GILMAN lyrics : "Oklahoma"

Suitcase packed with all his things
Car pulls up, the doorbell rings
He don't want to go

He thought he'd found his home
But with circumstances he can't change
Waves goodbye as they pull away

From the life he's known
For the last seven months or so


She said we found the man who looks like you
Who cried and said he never knew
About the boy in pictures that we showed him

A rambler in his younger days
He knew he made a few mistakes
But he swore he would have been there

Had he known it
Son we think we found your dad in Oklahoma


A million thoughts raced through his mind
What's his name, what's he like and will he be
Anything like the man in his dreams

She could see the questions in his eyes
Whispered "don't be scared my child
I'll let you know, what we know


About the man we found, he looks like you
And cried and said he never knew

About the boy in pictures that we showed him
A rambler in his younger days He knew he'd made a few mistakes
But he swore he would've been there Had he known it

You always said that this was something that you wanted
Son it's time to meet your Dad in Oklahoma


One last turn he held his breath
'Til they reached the fifth house on the left
And all at once the tears came rolling in

And as they pulled into the drive
A man was waiting there outside
Who wiped the worry from his eyes Smiled and took his hand


And he said I'm the man who looks like you
Who cried because I never knew

About that boy in pictures that they showed me
A rambler in my younger days I knew I made a few mistakes
But I swear I would have been there had I known it

Never again will you ever be alone
Son welcome to your home in Oklahoma
