lyrics

It’ll be a long night, I say to myself
At 7:14 in the evening
3 hours to think about my life
And all that I’ll be missing

I’m leaving Oklahoma
I’m leaving Oklahoma
And I’m miles away from the border
And she’s miles away from me

I start to cry all by myself
at 8:03 in the evening
It’s nothing new, in fact it’s quite
Common for me

I’m leaving Oklahoma
I’m leaving Oklahoma
And I just passed the border
And she’s miles away from me

Outside Wichita Falls on to Dallas
Is the longest stretch of black
I often slap myself to stay away
From sleep that I have lacked

I’m leaving Oklahoma
I’m leaving Oklahoma
And I’m miles past the border
And she’s miles away from me

In 282 hours, I’ll turn right back around
For the next two days she’ll have my life
Turned back from lost to found

I’m going to Oklahoma
I’m going to Oklahoma
And I’m miles away from the border
And she’s miles away from me

I’m going to Oklahoma
I’m going to see my daughter
And I’m miles away from the border
And she’s miles away from me
