Oklahoma

So it's dry
And I'm stuck here, waiting for you
And it's dry
while I'm pacing
The floors of this hotel room
And the sky
is a big blue
Outside my window
Impatient in Oklahoma

And the people bring me coffee
They've got smiles like knives
And the emptiest of faces
Staring back at me
They don't give me one word more
Than they have to
And I can't leave Oklahoma

Days slink by like resentful strays
And I look for you but you're days away
And I hate this place and I hate the view
And the hot wind that blows like it hates me too
And the clouds seem farther than I ever knew
Hanging sullen over Oklahoma

Then one night as a storm's coming in
I can't take this room any more
I get in my car and drive
Alone on flat roads that seem to go on
In the distance the sky's lit up behind clouds
Lighting up all of Oklahoma

A bolt of gold threads from heaven to earth
And it finally rains and I almost forget
That I'm waiting on you
and you aren't here yet
And I see how big this is
And you're worth the wait
[You're worth the wait]
You're worth the wait
[You're worth the wait]
And I'm Waiting in Oklahoma
