When they [G]opened up the strip, I was [C]young and full of [G]zip
I wanted some place to call my [D]home [D]
And [G]so I made the race, and I [C]staked me out a [G]place
And I settled down a-[D]long the Cimar-[G]ron [G]
It blowed a-[C]way (BLOWED AWAY!) it blowed a-[G]way (BLOWED AWAY!)
My Oklahoma home it blowed a-[D]way [D]
Well it [G]looked so green and fair when I [C]built my shanty [G]there
But my Oklahoma [D]home it blowed a-[G]way [G]
Well I [G]planted wheat and oats, had some [C]chickens and some [G]shoats
[G]Aimed to have some ham and eggs to [D]feed my face [D]
Got a [G]mule to pull the plow, got an [C]old red muley [G]cow
I [G]also got a fancy [D]mortgage on the [G]place [G]
It blowed a-[C]way (BLOWED AWAY!) it blowed a-[G]way (BLOWED AWAY!)
All the crops that I have planted blowed a-[D]way [D]
You [G]can't grow any grain if you [C]ain’t got any [G]rain
Everything except my [D]mortgage blowed a-[G]way [G]
It [G]looked so green and fair, when I [C]built my shanty [G]there
I figured I was all set for [D]life [D]
I put [G]on my Sunday best with my [C]fancy scalloped [G]vest
And I went to town to [D]pick me out a [G]wife [G]
She blowed a-[C]way (BLOWED AWAY!) she blowed a-[G]way (BLOWED AWAY!)
My Oklahoma woman blowed [D]away [D]
Mister [G]as I bent and kissed her,
she was [C]picked up by a [G]twister
My Oklahoma [D]woman blowed [G]away [G]
Then [G]I was left alone just a-[C]listenin' to the [G]moan
Of the [G]wind around the corners of my [D]shack [D]
So I [G]took off down the road [C]when the south wind [G]blowed,
A-travelin' with the [D]wind upon my [G]back [G]
I blowed a-[C]way (BLOWED AWAY!) I blowed a-[G]way (BLOWED AWAY!)
Chasin' that dust cloud up a-[D]head [D]
Once it [G]looked so green and fair,
now it's [C]up there in the [G]air
My Oklahoma [D]farm is over-[G]head [G]
Now I'm [G]always close to home it don’t [C]matter where I [G]roam
For Oklahoma dust is every-[D]where [D]
Makes no [G]difference where I'm walkin',
I can [C]hear my chickens [G]squawkin'
I can hear my wife a-[D]talkin' in the [G]air [G]
It blowed a-[C]way (BLOWED AWAY!) it blowed a-[G]way (BLOWED AWAY!)
My Oklahoma home, it blowed a-[D]way [D]
But my [G]home is always near,
it's up [C]in the atmo-[G]sphere
My Oklahoma [D]home is blown [G]away [G]
I'm a [G]roamin' Oklahoman, but I'm [C]always close to [G]home
And I'll never get homesick until I [D]die [D]
Cause no [G]matter where I'm found,
my [C]home is all a-[G]round
My Oklahoma [D]home is in the [G]sky [G]
It blowed a-[C]way (BLOWED AWAY!) it blowed a-[G]way (BLOWED AWAY!)
My farm down on the Cimar-[D]ron [D]
But [G]all around the world,
wher-[C]ever dust is [G]swirled
There’s some from my [D]Oklahoma [G]home [G]
It blowed a-[C]way (BLOWED AWAY!) it blowed a-[G]way (BLOWED AWAY!)
My Oklahoma home is blown a-[D]way [D]
Yeah it's [G]up there in the sky in that [C]dust cloud over n’ [G]by
My Oklahoma [D]home is in the [G]sky [G]
My Oklahoma [D]home is in the [G]sky [G]↓ [D]↓ [G]↓
