My Oklahoma Home (live) Lyrics - Live In Dublin - Bruce Springsteen & The Sessions Band

When they opened up the strip 

I was young and full of zip 

I wanted someplace to call my home 

And so I made the race 

And I staked me out a place 

And I settled down along the Cimarron 

It blowed away 

It blowed away 

My Oklahoma home it blown away 

Well it looked so green and fair 

When I built my shanty there 

Now my Oklahoma home is blown away 

Well I planted wheats and oats 

Got some chickens and some shoats 

Aimed to have some ham and eggs to feed my face 

Got a mule to pull the plow 

Got an old red muley cow 

And I also got a fancy mortgage on this place 

Well it blowed away 

It blowed away 

All the crops that I've planted blown away 

Well you can't grow any grain 

It you ain't got any rain 

Everything except my mortgage blown away 

Well it looked so green and fair 

When I built my shanty there 

I figured I was all set for life 

I put on my Sunday best, with my fancy scalloped vest 

And I went to town to pick me out a wife 

She blowed away 

She blowed away 

My Oklahoma woman blowed away 

Mister as I bent to kiss her 

She was picked up by a twister 

My Oklahoma woman blown away 

Well then I was left alone just listenin' to the moan 

Of wind around the corners of my shack 

So I took off down the road yeah 

When the south wind blowed 

I traveled with the wind upon my back 

I blowed away 

I blowed away 

Chasin' that dust cloud up ahead 

Once it looked so green and fair 

Now it' up in the air 

My Oklahoma farm is over head. 

Well now I'm always close to home it blown away 

But my home Sir, is always near 

It's up in the atmosphere 

My Oklahoma home is blown away 

Well I'm roam'n Oklahoman 

But I'm always close to home 

I'll never get homesick until I die 

'Cause no matter where I'm found 

My home's all arraound 

My Oklahoma home is in the sky 

It blowed away 

It blowed away 

My farm down on Cimarron 

Now all around the world 

Where ever dust is swirled 

There is some from my Oklahoma home 

Oh and it's blown away 

It's blown away 

Oh my Oklahoma home is blown away 

Yeah, it's up there in the sky 

In that dust cloud over n' by 

My Oklahoma home is in the sky
