[hometext] => I wrote and recorded this song a few years ago. I haven't lived in Okla. since 1951 but each time I visit there I still feel like I am coming home.
[bodytext] => If I could go back in time There's a place I'm sure you'd find me Just a little place out North of town Not good farmin' it was rocky ground But Papa did his best and raised a family Oh-oh-oh Oklahoma memories Oh-oh-oh we were young and we were free Well he taught us well the Golden Rule And we got our learnin' in a one room school Times were hard back then but we never knew Gave Jesus my heart when I was three 'Cause I heard about at my Mama's knee How those Oklahoma memories call to me Oh-oh-oh Oklahoma memories Oh-oh-oh we were young and we were free Went to Baptist Mission, just an ole time church Where the choir would sing just one more verse I surrender all my Lord to thee It was all day singing with dinner on the ground Mama would pass fried pies around, we'd sing 'til it got dark then head on home Oh-oh-oh Oklahoma memories Oh-oh-oh We were young and we were free And if I could go back in time There's a place I'm sure you'd find me Oklahoma still calls to me.
