Am C
I was running ragged on a red-dirt road

Fighting heavy eyes, hundred miles to go

Roadside dive in the dark horizon

Reminding me of everywhere that I've gone wrong
Am C
But if I had a Miller and a cigarette

So I pulled off on Baker street
G C G Am C G
Walked into old Ray's and found my seat
[Refrão]
F C
Like a drunken answered prayer
Am
Through the smoke and hazy air
G
Across the bar's a sight to see

Nowhere else I'd like to be

Those eyes put ties on a vagabond

Auburn hair and turquoise stone
G
Making me wanna call
Am C G
Oklahoma home
