Heather Maloney - Oklahoma Lullaby lyrics

Artist: Heather Maloney

album: Soil in the Sky


I'm a man of wisdom
You're a hardy woman
Where will we flow from?
What will we leave our son?
In Oklahoma, we'll make our home and
There's not a need we couldn't meet
With the dirt under our feet
I can remember my father's temper
He worked the factory, never drove his destiny
I know he'd be proud of my hand on the plough
I'd answer to no one but the rainfall and the sun
In Oklahoma, we'll make our home in the
The field of golden wheat
And the dirt under our feet
And I don't know, know how we came to deserve it
I don't know, don't know what we did
And I don't know, know how we came to deserve it
I don't know, don't know what we did
But then it rose above us
The blackest of dust
In the middle of the day
I was harvesting the hay
From noon to midnight
In ten minutes time
We ran to shelter
I sang our boy a lullaby
Oklahoma lullaby
And I don't know, know how we came to deserve it
I don't know, don't know what we did
And I don't know, know how we came to deserve it
I don't know, don't know what we did
And I don't know, know how we came to deserve it
I don't know, don't know what we did
And I don't know, know how we came to deserve it
I don't know, don't know what we did
It's in the cupboard
It's on our tongues
Under our pillows
It's in our lungs
This bowl of dust
It just ain't no home
I only wanted a place of my own
A place of my own
But I'm a man of pride and I could not provide
Now I'm waiting in this line and
I can't look him in the eye
As he's handing me relief
Someone's singin' down on me
My father from up high above the soil in the sky
Oklahoma lullaby
And I don't know, know how we came to deserve it
I don't know, don't know what we did
And I don't know, know how we came to deserve it
I don't know, don't know what we did
And I don't know, know how we came to deserve it
I don't know, don't know what we did
And I don't know, know how we came to deserve it
I don't know, don't know what we did
I don't know, don't know what we did
