Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There's a full moon over Tulsa
I hope that it's shinin' on you
The nights are getting cold
In Cherokee County
There's a Blue Northern passin' through
[Verse 2]
I remember green eyes and a ranchers daughter
But remember is all that I do
Losing you left a pretty good cowboy
With nothing to hold on to
[Verse 3]
Sundown came and I drove to town
And drank a drink or two
You're the reason God made Oklahoma
You're the reason God made Oklahoma
And I'm sure missing you
I'm sure missing you
[Verse 4]
Here the city lights out shine the moon
I was just now thinking of you
Sometimes when the wind blows you can see the mountains
And all the way to Malibu
[Verse 5]
Everyone's a star here In L.A. County
You ought to see that the things they do
All the cowboys down on the Sunset Strip
With that they could be like you
[Verse 6]
The Santa Monica freeway
Sometimes makes a country girl blue
You're the reason God made Oklahoma
You're the reason God made Oklahoma
And I'm sure missing you
[Verse 7]
I work ten hours on a John Deere tractor
Just thinking of you all day
I've got a calico cat and a two room flat
On a street in West L.A.
[Verse 8]
You're the reason God made Oklahoma
You're the reason God made Oklahoma
I'm sure missing you
I'm sure missing you
