Oklahoma Wind

Em Am Jesse lit us up and passed the bottle one more time Em We used to smoke and drink a lot back then Am Thunder shook the heavens and the lightning danced the sky Em Like I ain't seen since can't remember when Em Am The Oklahoma kid laid dying in a women's wing Em Just another indian biting dust Am Clouds grew dark in promise but they didn't rain a thing Em The government ain't something you can trust G A D G Oh, the Oklahoma wind slides across the burning sand G A Em Over double crosses mother nature made Em Am We picked a gig in Tulsa at the Cains ballroom that night Em The Oklahoma kid was dead and gone Am Rains still hadn't come but the clouds still blacked the sky Em That's when I took the time to write this song about the wrong G A D G Oh, the Oklahoma wind slides across the burning sand A Em Over double crosses mother nature made G A D G And nothing's ever come as far as I'm concerned A Em From those dead tomorrows planted yesterday Em Am The black man took a chance and got his foot hung in the door Em He sure as hell is gonna have his day Am The red man speaks his peace to gain his long lost dignity Em Washington just turned the other way Em Am Jesse spends his days in Loco Hills, New Mexico Em Every night he drinks his fill of booze Am When Riodoso's running he lays his money down Em Winning just enough to lose and lose and lose and lose ...
