Oklahoma

Suitcase packed with all his things Car pulls up, the doorbell rings He don't want to go He thought he'd found his home But with circumstances he can't change Waves goodbye as they pull away From the life he's known For the last seven months or so She said we found the man who looks like you Who cried and said he never knew About the boy in pictures that we showed him A rambler in his younger days He knew he made a few mistakes But he swore he would have been there Had he known it Son we think we found your dad in Oklahoma A million thoughts raced through his mind What's his name, what's he like and will be be Anything like the man in his dreams She could see the questions in his eyes Whispered "don't be scared my child I'll let you know, what we know About the man we found, he looks like you And cried and said he never knew About the boy in pictures that we showed him A rambler in his younger days He knew he'd made a few mistakes But he swore he would've been there Had he known it You always said that this was something that you wanted Son it's time to meet your Dad in Oklahoma One last turn he held his breath 'Til they reached the fifth house on the left And all at once the tears came rolling in And as they pulled into the drive A man was waiting there outside Who wiped the worry from his eyes Smiled and took his hand And he said I'm the man who looks like you Who cried because I never knew About that boy in pictures that they showed me A rambler in my younger days I knew I made a few mistakes But I swear I would have been there had I known it Never again will you ever be alone Son welcome to your home in Oklahoma
