Oklahoma Lyrics - One Voice - Billy Gilman

Suitcase packed with all his things 

Car pulls up, the doorbell rings 

He don't want to go 

He thought he'd found his home 

But with circumstances he can't change 

Waves goodbye as they pull away 

From the life he's known 

For the last seven months or so 

She said we found the man who looks like you 

Who cried and said he never knew 

About the boy in pictures that we showed him 

A rambler in his younger days 

He knew he made a few mistakes 

But he swore he would have been there 

Had he known it 

Son we think we found your dad in Oklahoma 

A million thoughts raced through his mind 

What's his name, what's he like and will be be 

Anything like the man in his dreams 

She could see the questions in his eyes 

Whispered "don't be scared my child 

I'll let you know, what we know 

About the man we found, he looks like you 

And cried and said he never knew 

About the boy in pictures that we showed him 

A rambler in his younger days He knew he'd made a few mistakes 

But he swore he would've been there Had he known it 

You always said that this was something that you wanted 

Son it's time to meet your Dad in Oklahoma 

One last turn he held his breath 

'Til they reached the fifth house on the left 

And all at once the tears came rolling in 

And as they pulled into the drive 

A man was waiting there outside 

Who wiped the worry from his eyes Smiled and took his hand 

And he said I'm the man who looks like you 

Who cried because I never knew 

About that boy in pictures that they showed me 

A rambler in my younger days I knew I made a few mistakes 

But I swear I would have been there had I known it 

Never again will you ever be alone 

Son welcome to your home in Oklahoma
