[ Featuring the Tigers ]
They're building up the turnpike right through the neighborhood
We argue on the radio if our team is any good
I left the house this morning I gave everyone a kiss
She said babe I just don't think you should go out to work in this'
Some spend their summer prayin' for relief
I'm out here working in the Oklahoma heat
Running everything on oil til it someday comes around
And until it does we're all holding hands on shaky ground
I been holding on so long it's getting hard to keep my grip
I feel it when it's coming I feel it when it slips
The first time I held her hand I felt the current running deep
Since then I've been buzzin' on her Oklahoma heat
Billboards advertising better jobs and better pay
You'll seem em as you're heading on vacation out of state
But we ain't goin nowhere til I get this thing paid off
I made a deal with the devil I just liked the odds
Clean up after the storm while planning for the next
Scratch offs at the counter hoping for the best
Working through my break so that I can get off early
An hour to myself so I can nurse whatever's hurting
I used to be a winner, I don't know how to do defeat
I'm out here losing in this Oklahoma heat
Last night her sister watched the kids so that we could catch a band
But I sat down in the back so I could calm my shaking hands
And on the way back home took the turnpike saving time
I'll pay Caesar what is Caesar's someone pay me what is mine
Maybe tomorrow will be different maybe I'll get some sleep
So I can get a victory that Oklahoma heat"
