Put the top down on this old Mustang
|
Buy us a bottle of wine
|
Head up north to see the old gang
|
I want to see some friends of mine
|
I want to see some friends of mine
|
True loving people whose hearts are kind
|
Find that little town that's in the back of my mind
|
|
CHORUS:
|
Oklahoma nights I will never forget you
|
Oklahoma, the wind comes sweepin'
|
Thru a sky full of lights
|
While he's a singin' of an airless flight
|
Put the lamp in a window, lead me back
|
Lead me back to those Oklahoma nights
|
Oklahoma nights
|
|
When we get back to the old barn dance
|
We'll hear that Rock-a-billy band
|
Singin' about some long lost romance
|
And we'll know we're home again
|
Yes we'll know we're home again
|
With Panhndle people who understand
|
Dry a little tear from the back of my hand
|
|
Oklahoma nights I will never forget you
|
Oklahoma the wind comes sweepin'
|
Thru a sky full of lights
|
While he's singin' of an airless flight
|
Put the lamp in a window mama, turn it up bright
|
Lead me back to those Oklahoma nights
|
Oklahoma nights
|
Oklahoma nights
