Lyrics:
(Verse 1: David Frizzell)
There's a full moon over Tulsa
I hope that it's shining on you
The nights are getting cold
In Cherokee County
There's a Blue Norther passing through
I remember green eyes and a rancher's daughter
But remember is all that I do
Losing you left a pretty good cowboy
With nothing to hold on to
Sundown came and I drove to town
And drank a drink or two
(Chorus)
You're the reason God made Oklahoma
You're the reason God made Oklahoma
And I'm sure missing you
I'm sure missing you
(Verse 2: Shelly West)
Here the city lights out shine the moon
I was just now thinking of you
Sometimes when the wind blows you can
See the mountains
[Lyrics from: https:/lyrics.az/various-artists/the-sound-track-music-from-clint-eastwoods-any-which-way-you-can/youre-the-reason-god-made-oklahoma.html]
And all the way to Malibu
Everyone's a star here in L.A. County
You ought to see the things that they do
All the cowboys down on the Sunset Strip
Wish that they could be like you
The Santa Monica Freeway
Sometimes makes a country girl blue
(Chorus)
You're the reason God made Oklahoma
You're the reason God made Oklahoma
And I'm sure missing you
(Verse 3: Both)
I work 10 hours on a John Deere tractor
Just thinking of you all day
I've got a calico cat and a 2 room flat
On a street in West L.A
(Chorus)
You're the reason God made Oklahoma
You're the reason God made Oklahoma
And I'm sure missing you
I'm sure missing you

"New Country" listeners ...this is what the real thing sounds like. Real Country Music!

[@63051]

Dang right, not this "new country rock" noise they call county. When you have "cowboys" mouthing rap, it is time to go. I wouldn't listen to them even if I'm drunker then who shot John.

[@odannyboy3338]

This song brings me back to being a 17yo boy in the Summer of 1982 and meeting a beautiful girl named Lisa in Fulton, Missouri while visiting my grandparents on their farm! The night air was perfect, the evening was magic and I’ll never forget her or the night we shared as long as I live! I’m 57 now and counting. What a wonderful and innocent time

My grandfather wrote the song, not these guys. He sold the rights back when he wrote it

[@amandaacunia1107]

The full means a lot to me. When I let someone who I love go. I tell look in the sky at the full moon. Because I'm looking at it to. And wondering how you are doing.
