Oklahoma Wind - Billy Joe Shaver

Jesse lit us up and passed

The bottle one more time

We used to smoke

And drink a lot back then

Thunder shook the heavens

And the lightning danced the sky

Like I ain't seen

Since can't remember when

The Oklahoma kid laid dying

In a women's wing

Just another Indian biting dust

Clouds grew dark in promise

But they didn't rain a thing

The government ain't something

You can trust

Oh the Oklahoma wind

Slides across the burning sand

Over double crosses mother nature made

We picked a gig in Tulsa

At the cains ballroom that night

The Oklahoma kid was dead and gone

Rains still hadn't come

But the clouds still blacked the sky

That's when I took the time

To write this song about the wrong

Oh the Oklahoma wind

Slides across the burning sand

Over double crosses mother nature made

And nothing's ever come

As far as I'm concerned

From those dead tomorrows planted yesterday

The white man took a chance

And got his foot hung in the door

He sure as hell is gonna have his day

The redman speaks his peace

Gain his long lost dignity

Washington just turned the other way

Jesse spends his days

In loco hills new Mexico

Every night he drinks his fill of booze

When Williams ghost is running

He lays his money down

Winning just enough

To lose to lose

To lose to lose

Oh the Oklahoma wind

Slides across the burning sand

Over double crosses mother nature made

And nothing's ever come

As far as I'm concerned

From those dead tomorrows planted yesterday

Oh the Oklahoma wind

Slides across the burning sand

Over double crosses mother nature made

And nothing's ever come

As far as I'm concerned

From those dead tomorrows planted yesterday
