Oklahoma Nights Arlo Guthrie Oklahoma Nights lyrics by Jimmy Webb Put the top down on this old Mustang Buy us a bottle of wine Head up north to see the old gang I want to see some friends of mine I want to see some friends of mine True loving people whose hearts are kind Find that little town that’s in the back of my mind Oklahoma nights I will never forget you Oklahoma the wind comes sweepin’ Thru a sky full of lights While he’s a singin’ of an airless flight Put the lamp in a window lead me back Lead me back to those Oklahoma nights Oklahoma nights     When we get back to the old barn dance We’ll hear that Rock-a-billy band Singin’ about some long lost romance And we’ll know we’re home again Yes we’ll know we’re home again With Panhandle people who understand Dry a little tear from the back of my hand [Chorus] Oklahoma nights I will never forget you Oklahoma the wind comes sweepin’ Thru a sky full of lights While he’s singin’ of an airless flight Put the lamp in a window mama turn it up bright Lead me back to those Oklahoma nights Oklahoma nights Oklahoma nights
