Oklahoma Sunshine - Jerry Reed

I can almost smell the hick’ry smoke hear the fireside talk of the old homefolks

See the roses on the hillside growing wild

I can almost touch the dogwood trees taste the air and memories

Scenes that I grew up on as a child

Where there were babies runnin' naked in the summertime

Clothes out dryin' on an old clothesline

Fishin' on the lake with a friend of mine

In the Oklahoma sunshine

Well I grew up and I moved away but I can’t forget about the good old days

Thinkin' bout the way life used to be

I got married and had some kids now I tell 'em bout the things that Pappy did

Paintin' pictures of a world they’ll never see

Where there were babies runnin' naked in the summertime…

Well I ain’t sayin' that my life is bad but Lord I wish that I only had

The comforts that they can’t build in machines

Like plenty of space and room to grow air to breathe and a country road

That leads to some place peaceful and serene

Where there were babies runnin' naked in the summertime…
