BRENDA LEE lyrics - Oklahoma Superstar

(John Durrill)



Every night he jumped up, on his mama's four poster bed

With his daddy's guitar, and a cowboy hat on his head

Little Sis ran the spotlight, with a flashlight on his face

While he rode his broomstick horse all over the place

His childhood dreams kept him goin'

While the years kept draggin' past

Playin' in a thousand talent shows almost always last



Oklahoma superstar

I love you no matter who you dream you are

Wearin' a two-tone cowboy suit

Playin' in a bar on an old second hand guitar



Don't you know by now

You picked the wrong road somehow

But I'll stay by you no matter what you do

My Oklahoma superstar



He still sings a little off key, and his hands get in his way

But there's not a song on the jukebox, he can't play

He says, "I'll bring the house down in Nashville

With only standing room some night

A big marquee will show my name in lights"

But the only climb he makes, is the stairs up to our room

Where he still looks in the mirror, and still sings out of tune



Oklahoma superstar

I love you no matter who you dream you are

Wearin' a two-tone cowboy suit

Playin' in a bar on an old second hand guitar



Oh don't you know by now

You picked the wrong road somehow

But I'll stay by you no matter what you do

My Oklahoma superstar



Oklahoma superstar

I love you no matter who you dream you are

Wearin' a two-tone cowboy suit

Playin' in a bar on an old second hand guitar



I said don't you know by now

You picked the wrong road somehow

But I'll stay by you no matter what you do

My Oklahoma superstar
