Lyrics
You know, once in a while
I get a really nostalgic feeling for my home territory, Oklahoma
But that's because I have to be away from it so much
Well, Jack Rael wrapped up some of that feeling in a song
And I'd like to sing it for you now
When you took me to the city, bought me clothes and things
You took me to the city, bought me diamond rings
But I forgot to tell you, your queenie don't like these
Goin' back to Oklahoma, back to my old hometown
Yes, back to Oklahoma, back to my old playground
Where folks all take it easy and never race around
Got a house, and an auto, got a dog and baby chick
Eleven in my family
Don't need you to get my kick
Goin' back to Oklahoma, back to my hometown
Where folks all take it easy, and never race around
Cincinnati and Milwaukee, every time we had a date
Once in New York City, you were two weeks six days late
That's all baby, baby, that's all for now
Goin' back to Oklahoma, where folk don't race around
Well alright baby, well alright you were wrong
Goin' back to Oklahoma, see you and so long
I'm gonna take it easy, and never race around
