I remember Mama cookin’ homemade apple pie
And me layin’ in the tall grass
Watchin' the clouds roll by
Daddy with his cane poll
Skipping church again
I swear sometimes the good Lord use to fish with him

Lay me Down in Oklahoma
With the sunshine on my face
Let the wind blow ‘cross the wheat fields 
As the summer slips away
And if I fall before the mornin' 
Maybe carve my name in stone 
And lay me down down down down down
In my Oklahoma home

I could see explosives flashing
Just beyond the hill
In my heart I hear the song of a whippoorwill

I could feel the angels singin'
As the terror rages on
My Mama's prayers will carry me back where I belong

Lay me down in Oklahoma 
With the sunshine on my face
Let the wind blow ‘cross the wheat field
As the summer slips away
And if I fall before the mornin'
Let ‘em carve my name in stone
And lay me down down down down down
In my Oklahoma home

Lay me down in Oklahoma 
With the sunshine on my face 
Let the winds blow ‘cross the wheat field
As the summer slips away
And if I fall before the mornin'
Let em carve my name in stone
And lay me down down down down down
In my Oklahoma home
