oklahoma lullaby Tom Paxton
[D]Summer nights are hot in Oklahoma[A]
[D]They?re like a blanket that you can?t kick off,[A]
[D]So still you can hear a dog bark up in Kansas,[A]
[D] [A] [D]You can hear one neighbor snore and the other one cough.
[A]I try one side of the bed and then the other,[F#]
[A]I?d give the world for sleep but sleep won?t come,[F#]
[A]It?s 3:00 AM and I?m not even drowsy,[F#]
[A]And I know that countin? sheep won?t get[F#] it done.[D]
Chorus:
[D]So I lie there and hear those truck tires hummin?
[A]I hear those air-breaks softly sigh,
[D]Gears keep changi[G]n? as they climb that hil[D]l[A] [G]
[D]And that?s my Oklahoma lullaby[A].[G] [D]
[D]One night I had no hope at all of sleepin?,[A]
[D]So I got dressed and walked on into town,[A]
[D]Went and stood just passed the lights on Fourth Street,[A]
[D]Caught a ride on a diesel Dal[A]las Bound.[D]
[A]We rolled down 66 passed Stroud to Chandler,[F#]
[A]Bought a roll and a coffee in a cardboard cup,[F#]
[A]I crossed the road and hitched on back to Bristow,[F#]
[A]Finally got to sleep [F#]as the sun came up.[D]
[D]Oh, I lie there and hear those truck tires hummin?
[A]I hear those air-breaks softly sigh
[D]Gears keep changi[G]n? as they climb that hil[D]l[A] [G]
[D]And that?s my Oklahoma lullaby[A] [G] [D]
Instrumental:
[A]All of that?s been changed now old 66 is gone[F#]
[A]They built an Interstate and passed town by[F#]
[A] [F#]I?m a thousand miles away now it?s time that I moved on
[A]But some nights I still hear[F#] them if I try[A]
[D]Oh, I lie there and hear those truck tires hummin?
[A]I hear those air-breaks softly sigh
[D]Gears keep chang[G]in? as they climb that hil[D]l[A] [G]
[D]And that?s my Oklahoma lullaby[A] [G] [D]
[D]Oh, Gears keep changin?[G] as they climb that hill[D] [A] [G]
[D]And that?s my Oklahoma lullaby[A] [G] [D]
