In Oklahoma - Cross Canadian Ragweed



The indian man lost all of his land in Oklahoma
A man dressed in black gave someof it back to Oklahoma
And the man that they called Same
Washed the red out of the land in Oklahoma

Well back in the day the WPA in Oklahoma
Woody Guthrie would sing about the crops and no rain in Oklahoma
Well the rain never came
Woody Guthrie sang the pain in Oklahoma

1982 a bubblin' crude in Oklahoma
A forty-thousand foot well drillin' straight to hell in Oklahoma
Fifty dollars a goddamn barrel
Wish I'd never sold that well in Oklahoma

O-K-L-A-H-O-M-A Okalhoma

Lawrence - Cross Canadian Ragweed

December it's usually a little colder
That's something that I'll learn as I get older
People walkin' by staring at the ground
Most of them walk on by some throw their paper down

Mama's tambourine yellow submarine
My daddy sings and them there's me

Christmas I guess it's gonna miss us
For all that I know it's just another day
Can you spare the time for me and mine
If you're down on your luck now's your turn to shine

For daddy's guitar strings me and Bobby McGee
My mama sings and then there's me

Am I the only one I wish I could ask someone
Well I just stare at the skylike there's nothing wrong
As that December wind starts to get strong
As I hum along to my people's song

What is it good for come you masters of war
My people sing mama's tambourine daddy's guitar strings
And then there's me and then there's me

Deal - Cross Canadian Ragweed

I don't like livin' in this town
I don't like the way it makes me feel
It ain't much better when I move around
Rolling around rolling on from town to town

I don't like to be ignored
I don't like it when you stare me down
My heart and soul are torn
Twisted thorn woven all around your crown

chorus:
I don't mean to sound condecending
There's no need in me pretending
Let the deal go down

Well it ain't no breaking news
No it ain't like it was
You got this thing you do
The thing you do
You know what it does

My head's been hanging down mmm
Dark clouds follow me around follow me down
Follow me down
Rolling on from town to town

I don't mean to sound condescending
There's no need in me pretending
Round and round and round

repeat chorus

Dead Man-Mission California - Cross Canadian Ragweed



Judgement coming down on you
Now your conscience is kicking in
Everybody's to blame baby but you
Now my patience is wearing thin

chorus:
Get out of my life you're coming unthread
Out of your mind over your head
And you wonder why you're all alone
Losing your grip coming undone
Using your mouth like a gatlin gun
I won't be your stepping stone
If there's a dead man in my closet
Show me your bones

What did I ever do to you
I've always loved you just the same
I hate feeling like I do
I wish my blood wasn't in your veins

repeat chorus

Now you wanna take it back
You could beg and you could plead
I ain't cutting you no slack
And you ain't no 'a part of me

Record Exec - Cross Canadian Ragweed



Well you're egg-shell walking
I'm talking with you honestly
Lets keep this thing rockin'
Let it be what it's gonna be
We don't need a cheaper version
It sounds like perversion
To tell you the truth
I ain't sleeping with the enemy
It ain't me

Got your finger in the door letting everbody know
That you made your stand
No time for change
No time to rearrange for the radio man
We don't need a cheaper version
It sounds like perversion
Open your mind and see what i want you to see

chorus:
What do you want from me
Big talkin' man
I didn't build it all just to watch it fall into your hands
What do you want from me
Big talkin' man

You want to put your brand on every little plan
And never follow through
My foot is down this time around
I'm gonna do what it is i do

repeat chorus
