The Girl from Oklahoma

from Psychedelic Blacktop by The Minders

/

lyrics

Turn the key and lock the past up
Down the street the moon just lit up
All your memories leave you so low
High up on a hill you look out
All your troubles seem to fan out
Underneath the clouds that go and go
Every time she felt too much
Every time he made her cry
Across the dessert wilderness
She felt her mother try, to hold her world so still-
-no harm came to her
Nothing to be done but head out on the open road
The highway signs that faintly spell out the distance left to go
Every town she passes up, she thinks about the lives
That chase that phantom happiness that always seems to hide
And all the time it promises to thrill you.
Drive all day and night through California
In the morning she’ll arrive in Arizona
Alone again the girl from Oklahoma
Is headed home
