Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Hang me in the Tulsa County stars
Hang me in the Tulsa County stars
Meet me where I land if I slip and fall too far
Hang me in the Tulsa County stars
[Verse 2]
I don't want to come back down to earth
No, I don't want to come back down to earth
My heart is growing heavy from the ever endless hurt
So I don't want to come back down to earth
[Verse 3]
And babe, I know this life make you cold and leave you mad
Make you homesick for a home you never had
Burnin' out the good with all the bad
[Verse 4]
So darling, let the charmers lead the room
They're drownin' out the Nashville moon
I want to learn exactly who you are
Then hang me in the Tulsa County stars
[Verse 5]
Find me in the Indian Nation sky
You can find me in the Indian Nation sky
When it feels like nothing's real and no one's standing on your side
Just find me in the Indian Nation sky
[Verse 6]
I'd set ablaze to secrets I'd concealed
I'd set ablaze to secrets we'd concealed
If I could make you feel the way you make me feel
I'd set ablaze to secrets we'd concealed
[Verse 7]
And babe, I know this world will have the wolves outside your door
Make you leave all that you love to fight a war
But never tell you what you're dying for
[Verse 8]
So darling let the charmers lean the room
Let 'em have that Nashville moon
I want to learn exactly who you are
Then hang me in the Tulsa County stars
Just hang me in the Tulsa County stars
