Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Where sixty nine meets forty
There's a single stoplight town
And back when I was really young
Part of that burned down
[Verse 2]
On any given Friday night
We'd drive a hundred miles
Between the Sonic and the grocery store
Laughin' all the 'while
[Verse 3]
With as many friends as I could pack
In my daddy's Ford
But I ain't in Checotah anymore
[Verse 4]
My hotel in Manhattan
Holds more people than our town
And what I just paid for dinner
Would be a down payment on a house
[Verse 5]
And rather be tippin' cows in Tulsa
Than hailing cabs here in New York
But I ain't in Checotah anymore
[Verse 6]
I'm in a world so wide
It makes me feel small sometimes
I miss the big, blue sky
The Oklahoma kind
[Verse 7]
In a world of long, red carpets
The bright lights of Hollywood
All the paparazzi flashin'
Could make a girl feel pretty good
[Verse 8]
You can get anything you want here
Except a Wal-Mart store
But I ain't in Checotah anymore
[Verse 9]
I'm in a world so wide
It makes me feel small sometimes
I miss the big, blue skies
The Oklahoma kind
[Verse 10]
Where the Wildcats beat the Iron Heads
Old Settler's day and the Okra Fest
After prom, down at the bowlin' lanes
Catching crappy fish in Eufala Lake
I ain't in Checotah anymore
[Verse 11]
Oh, yeah!
I'm in a world so wide
It makes me feel small sometimes
I miss the big, blue skies
The Oklahoma kind
[Verse 12]
But I ain't in Checotah
No, I ain't in Checotah
Oh, there's nothin' like Oklahoma
[Verse 13]
Where sixty nine meets forty
There's a single stoplight town
