I Ain’t In Checotah Anymore by Carrie Underwood
Where 69 meets 40
There’s a single stop light town
And back when I was really young
Part of that burned down
On any given Friday nite
We’d drive a hundred miles
Between the Sonic and the grocery store
Laugin’ all the while
With as many friends as I could pack
In my Daddy’s Ford
But I ain’t in Checotah anymore
My hotel in Manhattan
Holds more people than our town
And what I just paid for dinner
Would be a down payment on a house
I’d rather be tippin’ cows in Tulsa
Than hailin’ cabs here in New York
But I ain’t in Checotah anymore
In a world of long red carpets
The bright lights of Hollywood
All the paparazzi flashin’
Can make a girl feel pretty good
You can get anything you want here
Except a Walmart store
But I ain’t in Checotah anymore
Chorus:
I’m in a world so wide
It makes me feel small sometimes
I miss the big blue sky
The Oaklohoma kind
Bridge:
Where the Wildcats beat Iron Heads
Old settler’s day and the Okra fest
After prom down at the bowlin lanes
Catchin’ crappie fish in Eufaula Lake
