Oklahoma Promise
Written and recorded by Red Steagall

C                                F               C
As the darkness turns to morning on the Oklahoma plains
  F                G7           C
I just crossed the Tulsa County line
                                            F                C
And the wheels on this old pickup seemed to hum the sweetest tune
       F                 G7              C
As the miles on this old lonesome road unwind

         F              G7             F              C
Cause no matter where I travel all the riches turn to dust
        F           D7            G7
And the women never really suited me
       F                 G7       C                F
I kept thinking about an Oklahoma promise that I'd made
           C              G7              F
You're the only love that sets my mind at ease

C                            F                C
I turned around in Phoenix I was headed for L.A.
     F                 G7             C
Only heaven knows what I had hoped to find
                                    F                   C
Cause I never dreamed that Oklahoma grass could look so green
         F            G7               C
And that water tasted just as sweet as wine

Repeat #2   And no matter...

C      F              G7             F              C
Yes no matter where I travel all the riches turn to dust
        F           D7            G7
And the women never really suited me
          F               G7       C                F
I've come home to keep an Oklahoma promise that I'd made
         C              G7              F    C
When the only love that sets my mind at ease
