Thinking Oklahoma
c-2010
vs
Midnight out of Austin
Turn on the radio
Eighteen wheels start hummin'
To Willies Country Show
Rolling down the highway
No one else around
I lean back
Oklahoma bound
vs
Longing for my children
The comfort of my wife
But I'll keep on drivin'
So we can build a life
With all I have waiting
I never wonder why
I'm out here
Under starry skies
(chorus)
Willie tells a story
Of a lonesome heart
His guitar is cryin'
And tearing me apart
Strings carry the music
The music carries me
A lonesome hearted Country Symphony
vs
Thinking Oklahoma
I don't feel alone
Thinking family moments
When I get back home
My only companions
Til' the ends in sight
Eighteen wheels
The music and the night
(chorus)
Wisdom is not in words; wisdom is the meaning in words

I can see ya like I'm watching a video of you rolling down the highway. I guess you did a good job on the lyrics.

Dottie, thank you so much. Wasn't sure about the feel of the second verse.

rockin_m, thank you for your comment. I agree, the things we have to do just so we can do the things we want to do.

Roderic,
that last line of your chorus has a real nice ring to it. Makes me want to hear a pretty melody.
Have fun,
John

John,
Thank you for your nice comment. I am trying to find someone who can put some music to this. As much as I would like to, I can't write music. I'll keep trying to get better. Thanks again.
