I Ain't In Checotah Anymore

[Verse 1] Where 69 meets 40 There is a single stop light town And back when I was really young A part of that burned down On any given Friday night We would drive a hundred miles Between the Sonic and the Grocery Store Laughing all the while With as many friends as I could pack In my daddy's Ford But I am not in Checotah anymore My hotel in Manhattan Holds more people than our town And what I just paid for dinner Would be a down payment on a house I would rather be tipping cows in Tulsa Than hailing cabs here in New York But I am not in Checotah anymore [Chorus] I am in a world so wide It makes me feel small sometimes I miss the big blue skies The Oklahoma kind [Verse 2] In a world of long red carpets The bright lights of Hollywood All the paparazzi flashing Could make a girl feel pretty good You can get anything you want here Except a Wal-Mart store But I am not in Checotah anymore [Chorus] I am in a world so wide [Verse 3] Where the Wildcats beat the Iron heads Old Settler's day and the Okra Fest After prom, down at the bowling lanes Catching crappie fish in Eufaula lake I am not in Checotah anymore [Chorus] I am in a world so wide It makes me feel small sometimes I miss the big blue skies The Oklahoma kind But I am not in Checotah No I am not in Checotah Oh, There is nothing like Oklahoma [Outro] Where 69 meets 40 There is a single stoplight town
