I guess I couldn’t hold a candle
To a place I’ve never been
I guess that blue sky in the picture on the mantle
Pulled you right back in
Nobody was unfaithful
And you didn’t need your space
And what’s worse is I didn’t lose you to a person
I lost you to a place
Don’t wanna hate you, Oklahoma
But you’re why she had to leave
Truth is that I don’t even know ya
I just know she loves you more than me
I guess I should’ve seen it comin'
She talked about you all the time
Bet I could even rattle off the population
I’ve never seen the signs
Bet she’s crossin' into Memphis
I bet you’re all that’s on her mind
'Cause you’re the one that got away she’s comin' back to
And I’m left here behind
Don’t wanna hate you, Oklahoma
But you’re why she had to leave
Truth is that I don’t even know ya
I just know she loves you more than me
Why does she love you more than me
I don’t wanna hate you, Oklahoma
But you’re why she had to leave
Truth is that I don’t even know ya
I just know she loves you more than me
Why does she love you more than me
