Where 69 meets 40, 40
There's a single stop light turn, stoplight town
And back when I was really young, young
A partPart of that burned down, down

On any given Friday night, night
We'd drive a hundred miles, miles
Between the Sonic and the Grocery Store, grocery store
LaughingLaughin' all the while, while

With as many friends as I could pack, pack
In my daddy's Ford, Ford
But I ain't in Checotah anymore. anymore

My hotel in Manhattan, Manhattan
Holds more people than our town, town
And what I just paid for dinner, dinner
Would be a down payment on a house, house

I'd rather be tipping cows in Tulsa, Tulsa
Than hailing hailin' cabs here in New York, York
But I ain't in Checotah anymore. anymore

I'm in a world so wide, wide
It makes me feel small sometimes, sometimes
I miss the big blue skies, sky
theThe Oklahoma kind. kind

In a world of long red carpets, carpets
The bright lights of Hollywood, Hollywood
All the paparazzi flashing, flashing
Could make a girl feel pretty good, good

You can get anything you want here, here
Except a Wal-Mart store, store
But I ain't in Checotah anymore. anymore

I'm in a world so wide, wide
It makes me feel small sometimes, sometimes
I miss the big blue skies, skies
theThe Oklahoma kind. kind

Where the Wildcats beat the Ironheads, Iron Heads
Old Settler's day and the Okrafest, Okra fest
After prom, down at the bowling lanes, lanes
Catching crappie crappy fish in Eufaula lake, lake
I ain't in Checotah anymore. anymore
Oh yeah,I'm in a world so wide, wide
It makes me feel small sometimes, sometimes
I miss the big blue skies, skies
theThe Oklahoma kind, kind

But I ain't in Checotah, Checotah
NoNo, I ain't in Checotah, Checotah
Oh, there's nothing like Oklahoma. Oklahoma

Where 69 meets 40, 40
There's a single stoplight turn. town
