Waylon Jennings & Billy Joe Shaver Oklahoma Winds Lyrics
Verse 1:
Em Am
Jesse lit us up and passed the bottle one more time
Em
We used to smoke and drink a lot back then
Am
Thunder shook the heavens and the lightning danced the sky
Em
Like i ain't seen since can't remember when
Verse 2:
Em Am
The Oklahoma kid laid dying in a women's wing
Em
Just another indian biting dust
Am
Clouds grew dark in promise but they didn't rain a thing
Em
The government ain't something you can trust
Bridge:
G A D G
Oh the Oklahoma wind slides across the burning sand
G/ A/ Em
Over double crosses mother nature made
Verse 3:
Em Am
We picked a gig in Tulsa at the Cains ballroom that night
Em
The Oklahoma kid was dead and gone
Am
Rains still hadn't come but the clouds still blacked the sky
Em
That's when i took the time to write this song about the wrong
Chorus:
G A D G
Oh the Oklahoma wind slides across the burning sand
A Em
Over double crosses mother nature made
G A D G
And nothing's ever come as far as i'm concerned
A Em
From those dead tomorrows planted yesterday
Verse 4:(Waylon)
Em Am
The white man took a chance and got his foot hung in the door
Em
He sure as hell is gonna have his day
Am
The redman speaks his peace gain his long lost dignity
Em
Washington just turned the other way
Verse 5:(Waylon)
Em Am
Jesse spends his days in Loco Hills New Mexico
Em
Every night he drinks his fill of booze
Am
When Williams ghost is running he lays his money down
Em
Winning just enough to lose to lose to lose ...
Chorus.(x2).
