My Oklahoma Home - Live at the Point Theatre, Dublin, Ireland - November 2006

When they opened up the strip I was young and full of zip,
I wanted some place to call my home
And so I made the race, and I staked me out a place,
And I settled down along the Cimarron

It blowed away, it blowed away,
My Oklahoma home has blown away
Well it looked so green and fair when I built my shanty there,
But my Oklahoma home, has blown away

I planted wheat and oats, got some chickens and some shoats,
Aimed to have some ham and eggs to feed my face
Got a mule to pull the plow, got an old red muley cow
And I also got a fancy mortgage on the place

It blowed away, it blowed away,
All the crops that I had planted blowed away
Well you can't grow any grain if you ain't got any rain;
Everything except my mortgage blowed away

It looked so green and fair, when I built my shanty there,
I figured I was all set for life
I put on my Sunday best with my fancy scalloped vest
And I went to town to pick me out a wife

She blowed away, she blowed away
My Oklahoma woman blowed away
Mister as I bent to kiss her, she was swooped up by a twister
My Oklahoma woman blowed away

Well I was left alone just a-listenin' to the moan
Of the wind around the corners of my shack
I took off down the road where the south wind blowed,
And I traveled with the wind upon my back

I blowed away, I blowed away
Chasin' that dust cloud up ahead
Once it looked so green and fair, now it's up there in the air;
My Oklahoma farm is overhead

I'm always close to home, it don't matter where I roam,
For Oklahoma dust is everywhere
Makes no difference where I'm walkin', I can hear my chickens squawkin'
I can hear my wife talkin' in the air

It blowed away, it blowed away,
My Oklahoma home is blown away
My homestead's always near it's up in the atmosphere,
My Oklahoma home is blown away

Now I'm a roamin' Oklahoman, but I'm always close to home
And I'll never get homesick 'til I die
Cause no matter where I'm found, my home is all around
My Oklahoma home is in the sky

It blowed away, it blowed away,
My farm down on the Cimarron
Now all around the world, wherever dust is swirled
There's some from my Oklahoma home

It's blown away, it's blown away,
My Oklahoma home is blown away.
Yes it's up there in the sky in that dust cloud by and by
My Oklahoma home is blown away

Blown away, it's blown away,
My Oklahoma home has blown away
It's up there in the sky in that dust cloud by and by
My Oklahoma home is in the sky.
