My Oklahoma Home Blowed Away - Live

When they opened up the strip I was young and full of zip
 I wanted a place to call my own
 And so I made the race, and staked me out a place
 And settled down along the Cimarron
 It blowed away, it blowed away
 My Oklahoma home, blowed away
 It looked so green and fair when I built my shanty there
 But my Oklahoma home, blowed away
 I planted wheat and oats, got some chickens and some shoats
 Aimed to have some ham and eggs to feed my face
 Got a mule to pull the plow, got an old red muley cow
 And also got a fancy mortgage on the place
 It blowed away, it blowed away
 All the crops I planted blowed away
 You can't grow any grain if there isn't any rain
 All except the mortgage blowed away
 It looked so green and fair, when I built my shanty there
 I figured I was all set for life
 I put on my Sunday best with my fancy scalloped vest
 And went to town and picked me out a wife
 She blowed away, she blowed away
 My Oklahoma woman blowed away
 Just as I bent and kissed her, she was picked up by a twister
 My Oklahoma woman blowed away
 Then I was left alone a-listenin' to the moan
 Of the wind around the corners of my shack
 So I took off down the road when the south wind it blowed
 A-travelin' with the wind at my back
 I blowed away, I blowed away
 Chasin' a dust cloud up ahead
 Once it looked so green and fair, now it's up there in the air
 Yes my Oklahoma farm is overhead
 Now I'm always close to home no matter where I roam
 For Oklahoma dust is everywhere
 Makes no difference where I'm walkin', I can hear my chickens squawkin'
 I can hear my wife a-talkin' in the air
 It blowed away, it blowed away
 My Oklahoma home blowed away
 But my home is always near; it's in the atmosphere
 My Oklahoma home blowed away
 I'm a roamin' Oklahoman, but I'm always close to home
 And I'll never get homesick 'til I die
 No matter where I'm found, my home is all around
 My Oklahoma home is in the sky
 It blowed away, it blowed away
 My farm down upon the Cimarron
 But all around the world, wherever dust is whirled
 Some is from my Oklahoma home
 It blowed away, it blowed away
 My Oklahoma home blowed away
 Yes, it's up there in the sky in that dust cloud rolling by
 My Oklahoma home is in the sky
