Lyrics Billy Gilman

Billy Gilman

Oklahoma

Suitcase packed with all his things

Car pulls up, the doorbell rings

He don't want to go, he thought he'd found his home

But with circumstances he can't change

Waves goodbye as they pull away

From the life he's known, for the last seven months or so

She said, "We found the man who looks like you

Who cried and said he never knew

About the boy in pictures that we showed him

A rambler in his younger days, he knew he made a few mistakes

But he swore he would have been there, had he known it

Son, we think we found your dad in Oklahoma"

A million thoughts raced through his mind

What's his name? What's he like?

And will he be anything like the man in his dreams

She could see the questions in his eyes

Whispered, "Don't be scared my child

I will let you know, what we know

About the man we found, he looks like you

Who cried and said he never knew

About the boy in pictures that we showed him

A rambler in his younger days, he knew he'd made a few mistakes

But he swore he would have been there, had he known it

You always said that this was something that you wanted

Son, it's time to meet your dad in Oklahoma"

One last turn, he held his breath

'Til they reached the fifth house on the left

And all at once the tears came rolling in

And as they pulled into the drive

A man was waiting there outside

Who wiped the worry from his eyes

Smiled and took his hand

And he said, "I'm the man who looks like you

Who cried because I never knew

About that boy in pictures that they showed me

A rambler in my younger days, I knew I made a few mistakes

But I swear I would have been there, had I known it

Never again will you ever be alone

Son, welcome to your home in Oklahoma"
