Oklahoma Wind (The Complete Columbia Recordings ('81-'87), 2014) (исполнитель: Billy Joe Shaver)
Jesse lit us up and passed the bottle one more time We used to smoke and drink a lot back then Thunder shook the heavens and the lightning danced the sky Like I ain't seen since can't remember when The Oklahoma kid laid dying in a women's wing Just another Indian biting dust Clouds grew dark in promise but they didn't rain a thing The government ain't something you can [bad word] Oh, the Oklahoma wind slides across the burning sand Over double crosses mother nature made We picked a gig in Tulsa at the Cains ballroom that night The Oklahoma kid was dead and gone Rains still [bad word] but the clouds still blacked the sky That's when I took the time to write this song about the wrong Oh, the Oklahoma wind slides across the burning sand Over double crosses mother nature made And nothing's [bad word] as far as I'm concerned From those dead tomorrows planted yesterday The white man took a chance and got his foot hung in the door He sure as [bad word] is gonna have his day The redman speaks his peace gain his long lost dignity Washington just turned the other way Jesse spends his days in Loco Hills New Mexico Every night he drinks his fill of booze When Williams ghost [bad word] he lays his money down Winning just enough to lose to lose to lose Oh, the Oklahoma wind slides across the burning sand Over double crosses mother nature made And nothing's [bad word] as far as I'm concerned From those dead tomorrows planted yesterday Oh, the Oklahoma wind slides across the burning sand Over double crosses mother nature made And nothing's [bad word] as far as I'm concerned From those dead tomorrows planted yesterday.
