Queen Of Oklahoma
written by Patrick Bloom (©2007 Small Man Music ASCAP)


the headlights are busted the body is rusted
the engine turns but it won't go
a couple more paychecks she can get the brakes fixed
and maybe drive to Toledo

what will they say when she goes when she goes
what will they think if she don't if she don't
what will they care if she's gone if she's gone
if she's gone

four white walls in Cleveland metal chairs to wait in
too much time to change her mind
a landslide of bother a few hundred dollars
a broken heart and she'll be fine

what will they say when she goes when she goes
what will they think if she don't if she don't
what will they care if she's gone if she's gone
if she's gone

in the Western Star corona sits the Queen of Oklahoma
a dirt road sparrow and her father's best lie
she finishes her letter buttons up her sweater
reaches towards the dresser and she cries and she cries

what will they say when she goes when she goes
what will they think if she don't if she don't
what will they care if she's gone if she's gone
if she's gone
