I Ain't In Checotah Anymore

Where 69 meets 40
 There's a single stop light town
 And back when I was really young
 A part of that burned down
 On any given Friday night
 We'd drive a hundred miles
 Between the Sonic and the Grocery Store
 Laughing all the while
 With as many friends as I could pack
 In my daddy's Ford
 But I ain't in Checotah anymore
 
 My hotel in Manhattan
 Holds more people than our town
 And what I just paid for dinner
 Would be a down payment on a house
 I'd rather be tipping cows in Tulsa
 Than hailing cabs here in New York
 But I ain't in Checotah anymore
 I'm in a world so wide
 It makes me feel small sometimes
 I miss the big blue skies
 The Oklahoma kind
 In a world of long red carpets
 The bright lights of Hollywood
 All the paparazzi flashing
 Could make a girl feel pretty good
 You can get anything you want here
 Except a Wal-Mart store
 But I ain't in Checotah anymore
 I'm in a world so wide
 It makes me feel small sometimes
 I miss the big blue skies
 The Oklahoma kind
 Where the Wildcats beat the Ironheads
 Old Settler's day and the Okrafest
 After prom, down at the bowling lanes
 Catching crappie fish in Eufaula lake
 I ain't in Checotah anymore
 ♪
 I'm in a world so wide
 It makes me feel small sometimes
 I miss the big blue skies
 The Oklahoma kind
 But I ain't in Checotah
 No I ain't in Checotah
 Oh, there's nothing like Oklahoma
 Where 69 meets 40
 There's a single stoplight town
