Carrie Underwood - I Ain’t In Checotah Anymore
Album: Some Hearts
Editor: 5nd(QQ 115255035)
Where 69 meets 40
There’s a single stop light town
And back when I was really young
A part of that burned down
On any given Friday night
We’d drive a hundred miles
Between the Sonic and the Grocery Store
Laughing all the while
With as many friends as I could pack
In my daddy’s Ford
But I ain’t in Checotah anymore
My hotel in Manhattan
Holds more people than our town
And what I just paid for dinner
Would be a down payment on a house
I’d rather be tipping cows in Tulsa
Then hailing cabs here in New York
I’m in a world so wide
It makes me feel small sometimes
I miss the big blue sky
The Oklahoma kind
In a world of long red carpets
The bright lights of Hollywood
All the paparazzi flashing
Could make a girl feel pretty good
You can get anything you want here
Except a Wal-Mart store
Where the Wildcats beat the Ironheads
Old Settler’s day and the Okra fest
After prom, down at the bowling lanes
Catching crappie fish in Eufaula Lake
I ain’t in Checotah anymore
Oh, yeah
But I ain’t in Checotah
No I ain’t in Checotah
Oh, there’s nothing like Oklahoma
There’s a single stoplight town
