๐ Lyrics
Jesse lit us up and passed the bottle one more time
We used to smoke and drink a lot back then
Thunder shook the heavens and the lightning danced the sky
Like I ain't seen since can't remember when
The Oklahoma kid laid dying in a women's wing
Just another Indian biting dust
Clouds grew dark in promise but they didn't rain a thing
The government ain't something you can trust
We picked a gig in Tulsa at the Cain's Ballroom that night
The Oklahoma kid was dead and gone
The rain still hadn't come but the clouds still blacked the sky
That's when I took the time to write this song about the wrong
Oh, the Oklahoma wind slides across the burning sand
Over double crosses Mother Nature made
And nothing's ever come as far as I'm concerned
From those dead tomorrows planted yesterday
The black man took a chance and got his foot hung in the door
He sure as hell is gonna have his day
The redman speaks his peace to gain his long lost dignity
And Washington just turns the other way
Jesse spends his days in Loco Hills, New Mexico
Every night he drinks his fill of booze
When William's ghost is running he lays his money down
Winning just enough to lose and lose and lose and lose
Oh, the Oklahoma wind slides across the burning sand
Over double crosses Mother Nature made
And nothing's ever come as far as I'm concerned
From those dead tomorrows planted yesterday
We're gonna do one more for a big hero of mine
The greatest writer there ever was, there ever will be
You just can't beat Jesus Christ, let's hit it boys
We used to smoke and drink a lot back then
Thunder shook the heavens and the lightning danced the sky
Like I ain't seen since can't remember when
The Oklahoma kid laid dying in a women's wing
Just another Indian biting dust
Clouds grew dark in promise but they didn't rain a thing
The government ain't something you can trust
We picked a gig in Tulsa at the Cain's Ballroom that night
The Oklahoma kid was dead and gone
The rain still hadn't come but the clouds still blacked the sky
That's when I took the time to write this song about the wrong
Oh, the Oklahoma wind slides across the burning sand
Over double crosses Mother Nature made
And nothing's ever come as far as I'm concerned
From those dead tomorrows planted yesterday
The black man took a chance and got his foot hung in the door
He sure as hell is gonna have his day
The redman speaks his peace to gain his long lost dignity
And Washington just turns the other way
Jesse spends his days in Loco Hills, New Mexico
Every night he drinks his fill of booze
When William's ghost is running he lays his money down
Winning just enough to lose and lose and lose and lose
Oh, the Oklahoma wind slides across the burning sand
Over double crosses Mother Nature made
And nothing's ever come as far as I'm concerned
From those dead tomorrows planted yesterday
We're gonna do one more for a big hero of mine
The greatest writer there ever was, there ever will be
You just can't beat Jesus Christ, let's hit it boys
