Girl Who Danced Oklahoma
Terry Allen · Other Songs - Terry Allen
And get a house and make a home
And she tried to give and be satisfied
Livin' close to the bone
But as time, it passed by
It all closed in
And she craved for the wild
On the outsides again
Yeah, she tried to be what he wanted her to be
And she tried to do what he wanted her to do
But her honky tonk mind
Just couldn't find a way through to his plans
So she broke for the wild
On the outsides again
And ten years later in Southern California
Well, he met her at a party for a painter
She was naked and sittin' in this chair that come from France
So he asked her if she'd mind talkin' to a stranger
She just rolled her crazy eyes, started to dance
O K L A H O M A
Outside Oklahoma
Okay, L.A.
