Well my daddy said the day he met you
We weren't meant to be
Said that boy's got a wild strike in him
That spelled trouble for me
My foolish heart had love to burn
You took it for a ride
Down a long road of twist and turns
Heartaches hurt me last

You put the T for tears in Texas
S for sad in St. Louis
Our reckless travels led us
To the state of Missouri
I cried clear 'cross Carolina
'Bout some bar in Tennessee
There's no U in Oklahoma
And that's okay with me

We tried KC, Fort Worth, Reno
Cheyenne, Timbuktu
Somewhere down round Tupelo
My daddy's words rang true
I called it quits in T-Town
I finally had my say
Adiós, see you around
I'm gone, you go your way

You put the T for tears in Texas
S for sad in St. Louis
Our reckless travels led us
To this state of Missouri
I cried clear 'cross Carolina
'Bout some bar in Tennessee
There's no U in Oklahoma
And that's okay with me

You put the T for tears in Texas
S for sad in St. Louis
Our reckless travels led us
To this state of Missouri
I cried clear 'cross Carolina
'Bout some bar in Tennessee
There's no U in Oklahoma
And that's okay with me

Oh there's no U in Oklahoma
And that's okay with me
