[Verse 1]
G
This old town's

Been a-bringin' me down
C G
For what seems like a lifetime
G
I made a lot of noise

Tryin' to find that voice
D
That I'd one day call mine
G
When I turned eighteen
C
Granddaddy told me
G D C
He said "Boy, you're the lost generation"
G
So I packed my bags
C
With what little I had
D C G
And I set out to prove him wrong

[Chorus]
C G
I'm headed out to Oklahoma
C G
Out with the dust and the wind
C G
I got a funny feelin', baby
D
That we're gonna fit right in
G C G
Out there in Oklahoma
C G
I'll be standin' tall
C G
If anyone asks, you can find me out
D C G
In the land where work conquers all

[Verse 2]
G
I turned my back

And I got sidetracked
C G
Before I ever hit Birmingham
G
It took a summer shoein' horses

In northern Georgia
D
To find out who I am
C G
I hit a hot streak in Biloxi
C
Lost it all by San Antone
