Oklahoma

Suitcase packed with all his things
 Car pulls up, the doorbell rings
 He don't wanna 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 a 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 race through his mind
 What's his name? What's he like?
 And will he be
 Anything like the man in his dreams?
 She could see the questions in his eyes
 Don't be scared my child,
 I will let you know what we know about
 The man we found, he 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
 You always said this was something that you wanted
 Son it's time to meet your dad in Oklahoma
 One last turn he held his breath
 Till they reached the fifth house on the left
 And all at once
 The tears came rollin' in
 And as they pulled in to the drive
 The man was waiting there outside
 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 the boy in pictures that they showed me
 A rambler in my younger days
 I know 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
