Girl From an OK Town
(© 1998 Vic Ramirez)

Met a girl from an Oklahoma City
Fell in love in the afternoon
She was young and was oh so pretty
I let her know
But I guess that I spoke to soon
I think…I should’ve known
I guess I let her see more than I should have shown

Colleen’s eyes were intimidating
She could see through my very soul
A native girl with hair that shimmers
She captured me
I’m a prisoner with no parole
Too late…to try to run
I guess…I let her get closer than anyone

I don’t think I can call her mine
That might come in a different time
She isn’t even beginning…
To show me there’s a chance for us together
Take another lifetime to forget her
I don’t want to lose the things I’ve found
In a girl from an O.K. town

My mind was racing a thousand miles a minute
To try and get her to change her world
Or at least find a place for me in it
A little spot…on a wall in a far off room
I think…I spoke too soon
I may as well be a man in a far off moon

I don’t think I can call her mine
That might come in a different time
She isn’t even beginning…
To show me there’s a chance for us together
Take another lifetime to forget her
I don’t want to lose the things I’ve found
In a girl from an O.K. town

I see a girl from an Oklahoma city
Fall in love with her every time
She’ll never know and I guess it’s such a pity
I’ve fallen…fallen…fallen
Fallen down
For a girl from an O.K. town
Wore my heart on my sleeve
Now it’s hit the ground.

All for a girl from an O.K. town
All for a girl from an O.K. town
