You're the Reason God Made Oklahoma

Written by Larry Collins and James Pinkard, Jr.

There's a full moon over Tulsa and I hope that it's shining on you
Nights are gettin' colder here in Cherokee County there's a blue norther passin' through
I remember green eyes and a rancher's daughter but remember is all that I do
Losin' you left a purty good cowboy, with nothin' to hold on to.

Sundown came and I drove to town to drink a drink or two
You're the reason God made Oklahoma, you're the reason God made Oklahoma
And I'm sure missin' you. And I'm sure missin' you.

Out here the city lights outshine the moon I was just now thinkin' of you
Sometimes when the wind blows you can see the mountains and all the way to Malibu
Everyone's a star here in L.A. county you ought to see the things that they do
All the cowboys down on the Sunset Strip, wishin' they could be like you.

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 missin' you

I worked ten hours on a John Deere tractor, just thinkin' of you all day
Got a calico cat and a two-room flat on a street in West L.A.
You're the reason God made Oklahoma, you're the reason God made Oklahoma
And I'm sure missin' you. And I'm sure missin' you.
