Oklahoma Crude Lyrics - Corbin & Hanner

words & music by Bob Corbin 

pub. by Sabal Music Inc. (ASCAP) 

There's people coming every day out to the promised lands 

Across the deserts and the mountains to hold the sunshine in their hands 

But L.A. she's a hard one and she sure knows what to do 

Take your pride and your hunger 

Twist 'em up and turn >em back on you 

(Chorus) 

Well, I'm Oklahoma crude 

And I'm Arkansas contrary 

Found true love in Louisiana 

And I found God up in Missouri 

Hollywood's a painted woman, 

But her words of love aren't true 

And the Valley just ain't home 

When you're Oklahoma crude 

I left my folks just south of Tulsa 

Lost a girl from Baton Rouge 

Pack my guitar and my blue jeans 

Go out west to sing my tunes 

But the boulevards and bright lights 

They can make a grown man cry 

I'm headin' East on U.S. 40 

Let those palm trees wave goodbye 

(Chorus)
