Just heard a song 'bout Detroit City

While my heart sings 'bout those Oklahoma hills

Detroit just don't feel like Oklahoma

Lord I hoped it would but I guess it never will

Got those Oklahoma blues

Chorus: Oklahoma's all I know                                  

I've heard it said and I guess it's so

Oklahoma ain't perfect, but neither am I

Got those Oklahoma blues...

Came to look for work in Detroit City

But I just ended up in this unemployment line

I'd rather be out of work in Oklahoma

So it my luck holds out I'll be home tomorrow night

Got those Oklahoma blues

Repeat Chorus:
