lyrics

I know what I know about that old rubber coat
That you would wear in autumn
I know that I know
Got two birds and a mouth
It’s not a disease just a light on a house

I’m not like those kids wearing tinsel and crowns
On the first day of summer
I go where I go
I got my mom and my dad
It’s not that it’s all that bad just kinda rough

I ran it felt like forever
It must have been for years
With a bird on my shoulder and a thorn in my heal
I ran from my village straight on into the hills
Because I was told that I have to leave my country and my home

For Oklahoma the Promise Land
I’m just a kid
My family’s all dead
In a new place with no wife or kids

In Oklahoma the Promise Land
I’m just a kid
No family alive
All my people gone
No hope left
