[00:00.00]My Oklahoma Home - Bruce Springsteen
[00:18.62]When they opened up the strip I was young and full of zip
[00:23.36]I wanted some place to call my own
[00:27.84]And so I made the race and staked me out a place
[00:32.51]And settled down along the Cimarron
[00:36.48]It blowed away it blowed away
[00:41.79]My Oklahoma home it blowed away
[00:46.04]Well it looked so green and fair when I built my shanty there
[00:50.68]But my Oklahoma home it blowed away
[00:55.27]I planted wheat and oats got some chickens and some shoats
[01:00.25]Aimed to have some ham and eggs to feed my face
[01:04.08]Got a mule to pull the plow got an old red muley cow
[01:08.83]And I also got a fancy mortgage on the place
[01:12.72]It blowed away it blowed away
[01:17.15]All the crops I planted blowed away
[01:22.20]Well you can't grow any grain if you ain't got any rain;
[01:26.86]Everything except the mortgage blowed away
[01:49.54]It looked so green and fair when I built my shanty there
[01:54.13]I figured I was all set for life
[01:58.30]I put on my Sunday best with my fancy scalloped vest
[02:02.92]And went to town and picked me out a wife
[02:07.03]She blowed away she blowed away
[02:11.61]My Oklahoma woman blowed away
[02:16.20]Mister as I bent and kissed her she was picked up by a twister;
[02:21.10]My Oklahoma woman blowed away
[02:25.26]Well then I was left alone a-listenin' to the moan
[02:29.84]Of the wind around the corners of my shack;
[02:33.98]So I took off down the road when the south wind blowed
[02:38.67]A-travelin' with the wind upon my back
[02:42.66]I blowed away I blowed away
[02:46.98]Chasin that dust cloud up ahead
[02:51.53]Once it looked so green and fair now it's up there in the air;
[02:56.46]My Oklahoma farm is overhead
[03:18.13]Now I'm always close to home no matter where I roam
[03:23.08]For Oklahoma dust is everywhere
[03:27.14]Makes no difference where I'm walkin' I can hear my chickens squawkin'
[03:31.55]I can hear my wife a-talkin' in the air
[03:35.57]It blowed away it blowed away
[03:39.74]My Oklahoma home blowed away
[03:44.43]But my home is always near; it's in the atmosphere
[03:49.34]My Oklahoma home that blowed away
[04:01.82]Now I'm a roamin' Oklahoman but I'm always close to home
[04:06.65]And I'll never get homesick 'til I die
[04:10.79]Cause no matter where I'm found my home is all around;
[04:15.35]My Oklahoma home is in the sky
[04:19.15]It blowed away it blowed away
[04:23.34]My farm down upon the Cimarron
[04:28.14]Well now all around the world wherever dust is whirled
[04:32.65]There's some from my Oklahoma home
[04:36.40]It blowed away it blowed away
[04:40.72]Yeah my Oklahoma home blowed away
[04:45.12]Yes it's up there in the sky
[04:47.67]In that dust cloud rolling by
[04:49.85]My Oklahoma home is blowed away
[05:27.70]Well its blowed away it blowed away
[05:32.25]My Oklahoma home blowed away
[05:36.38]It's up there in the sky in that dust cloud rolling by
[05:40.95]My Oklahoma home is in the sky
