Oklahoma Superstar

(John Durrill)



Every night he jumped up, on his mama's four poster bed

With his daddy's guitar, and a cowboy hat on his head

Little Sis ran the spotlight, with a flashlight on his face

While he rode his broomstick horse all over the place.



His childhood dreams kept him goin'

While the years kept draggin' past

Playin' in a thousand talent shows

Almost always last.



Oklahoma superstar

I love you no matter who you dream you are

Wearin' a two-tone cowboy suit

Playin' in a bar on an old second hand guitar.



Don't you know by now

You picked the wrong road somehow

But I'll stay by you no matter what you do

My Oklahoma superstar.



He still sings a little off key, and his hands get in his way

But there's not a song on the jukebox, he can't play

He says, "I'll bring the house down in Nashville

With only standing room some night

A big marquee will show my name in lights."



But the only climb he makes

Is the stairs up to our room

Where he still looks in the mirror

And still sings out of tune.



Oklahoma superstar

I love you no matter who you dream you are

Wearin' a two-tone cowboy suit

Playin' in a bar on an old second hand guitar.



Oh don't you know by now

You picked the wrong road somehow

But I'll stay by you no matter what you do

My Oklahoma superstar.



Oklahoma superstar

I love you no matter who you dream you are

Wearin' a two-tone cowboy suit

Playin' in a bar on an old second hand guitar.



I said don't you know by now

You picked the wrong road somehow

But I'll stay by you no matter what you do

My Oklahoma superstar...
