Oklahoma kid

Lyrics

*(Verse 1)*
In a small town where the dust storms blow,
A boy grew up with dreams too big to show,
With a heart full of hope, but a life full of pain,
He learned to hide his tears like the falling rain.

His parents fought battles, their love was a war,
In a house made of heartache, he longed for more,
But the years rolled on, and he found a way,
To build a life from the ashes, come what may.

*(Chorus)*
Oh, the shadows of Oklahoma, they whisper his name,
A journey of heartache, a life full of blame,
But through the storms and the sorrow, he found a light,
In the love of a woman who held him so tight.

*(Verse 2)*
He married his sweetheart, a love pure and true,
But the weight of the world, it pulled them askew,
As the empire he built took him far from home,
His children grew distant, feeling so alone.

He wandered through silence, a ghost in the night,
With a heart full of longing, he searched for the light,
Then a young love appeared, like a spark in the dark,
But the ties to his family had left a deep mark.

*(Chorus)*
Oh, the shadows of Oklahoma, they whisper his name,
A journey of heartache, a life full of blame,
But through the storms and the sorrow, he found a light,
In the love of a woman who held him so tight.

*(Bridge)*
Now the days are growing shorter, the end is drawing near,
With his son by his side, he faces his fear,
In the warmth of forgiveness, they mend what was lost,
In the twilight of life, they count every cost.

*(Verse 3)*
He speaks of the memories, the laughter and tears,
Of a life filled with struggles, and the weight of the years,
But he knows in his heart, as he takes his last breath,
That love is eternal, even in death.

*(Chorus)*
Oh, the shadows of Oklahoma, they whisper his name,
A journey of heartache, a life full of blame,
But through the storms and the sorrow, he found a light,
In the love of a woman who held him so tight.

*(Outro)*
So here’s to the man who fought through the pain,
With a heart full of stories, like the falling rain,
May his soul find the peace that eluded him here,
In the shadows of Oklahoma, his spirit draws near.
