I was found out in the rushes.
Like a can of paint and old paintbrushes.
Like a ribbon wrapped around a small latch key.
Wicknor-Whatnot that's what you call me.
I was sleeping on your patio.
Listening to your brand new radio.
When you startled me aw-ake.
I'm a man - I insist you insist on a piece of cake.
, , , , ] - is brief, as is in Chorus.
Head out west,
Stake that claim,
And forget everybody else's name,
I cant say,
Knew you well,
Lets pretend so we can begin again.
You've got eyes like Oklahoma.
Learned to swim in Lake Texoma.
Chances are you plan to leave too soon.
Oklahoma that's what I'll call you!
When you're left with nowhere else to go.
Try and get me on my telephone.
And you'll find I threw it in a lake.
You're a man - You insist I insist on a piece of cake.
, , , , ] - is brief, as is in Chorus.
Head out west,
Stake that claim,
And forget everybody else's name,
I cant say,
Knew you well,
Lets pretend so we can begin again.
End on .
