OKLAHOMA SWING
(Tim Dubois / Vince Gill)


Vince Gill & Reba McEntire - 1989




VINCE:
There's a redhead from my hometown 
That loves to let her hair down
She tears my heart out when she starts to sing
She's from the right side of Red River 
And she's pretty as a picture
Don't you know she's this ole cowboy's dream

REBA:
Oh, there's a boy from Okie City 
And I sure think he's pretty
But I know he's tryin' to steal my heart away
Oh, my mama tried to warn me 
He's done time in California
But he'll be an Okie till his dyin' day

BOTH:
There's a dance we do in Oklahoma
A dance like you've never seen
Sit back and we're gonna show ya
How to do that Oklahoma Swing

(Instrumental Break)

VINCE:
Well when two Okies get together 
Man, there's nothin' they like better
Than to hold each other on a sawdust floor
REBA:
Oh, I love it when we're swayin' 
To those sweet twin fiddles playin'
Come on boy, what are we waitin' for

BOTH:
There's a dance we do in Oklahoma
A dance like you've never seen
Sit back and we're gonna show ya
How to do that Oklahoma Swing

Yeah, there's a dance we do in Oklahoma
A dance like you've never seen
Sit back and we're gonna show ya
How to do that Oklahoma Swing
Yeah, how to do that Oklahoma Swing
