Most nights you would find him
Playing pool at the bar
He never meant for that moment
To be taken that far
Now, she's crying
The pain is too deep
She's all alone
He ain't coming home
And she's on two knees
His heart's in Oklahoma
He sees in Tennessee
He walks the woods of Georgia
And he's breathing in the sea
In the flatlands of Texas
He was gone in a blur
His heart's in Oklahoma
But his memory's with her
The letter from Dallas
Brought peace to her soul
But she would trade all the thank you's
To never let him go
And now she's standing
On two feet alone
Thinking of all the people
Who get to carry him home
His heart's in Oklahoma
He sees in Tennessee
He walks the woods of Georgia
And he's breathing in the sea
In the flatlands of Texas
He was gone in a blur
His heart's in Oklahoma, mmmhmmm
But his memory's with her
If he'd only known
What he was giving up that day.
He never would have done what he did
But because of that moment
So many others
Have the chance to live
Now his heart's in Oklahoma
He sees in Tennessee
He walks the woods of Georgia
And he's breathing in the sea
In the flatlands of Texas
He was gone in a blur
His heart's in Oklahoma, mmmhmmm
But his memory's with her
His heart's in Oklahoma, ohhhhhh
But his memory's with her
