Oklahoma Sunshine

[Verse 1]
I can almost smell the hick'ry smoke
Hear the fireside talk of the old homefolks
See the roses on the hillside growing wild
And I can almost touch those dogwood trees
Taste the air and memories
Scenes that I grew up on as a child

[Chorus]
Where there were babies runnin' naked in the summertime
Clothes out dryin' on an old clothesline
Fishin' on the lake with a friend of mine
In the Oklahoma sunshine

[Verse 2]
Well, I grеw up and I moved away
But I can't forget about the good old days
Thinkin' 'bout thе way life used to be
I got married and had some kids
Now I tell 'em bout the things that pappy did
Paintin' pictures of a world they'll never see

[Chorus]
Where there were babies runnin' naked in the summertime
Clothes out dryin' on an old clothesline
Fishin' on the lake with a friend of mine
In the Oklahoma sunshine
(Oklahoma sunshine)

[Verse 3]
Well, I ain't sayin' that my life is bad
But Lord, I wish that I only had
The comforts that they can't build in machines
Like plenty of space and room to grow
Air to breathe and a country road
That leads to some place peaceful and serene

[Chorus]
Where there were babies runnin' naked in the summertime
Clothes out dryin' on an old clothesline
Fishin' on the lake with a friend of mine
In the Oklahoma sunshine

[Outro]
(Oklahoma sunshine)
(Oklahoma sunshine)
