Picked up the paper just the other day When I was over 'round Chickasha Flipped over to the classified ads To see what I could find Somewhere in the lost and found Between a diamond ring and an old black hound There was a letter from a man down in Texas Who left something across the state line
(Chorus) It said I lost my heart in Oklahoma If anybody finds it please send it back Reward offered by the owner No questions asked
It said he met her over Tulsa way When he was just a kid Still remembers to this very day All those crazy things she did I've got a lot in common with that man Yeah, I've been in his shoes You'd better watch out or you might get taken A heart's not hard to lose
(Chorus)
What he said wasn't all in vain, Don't think I'll ever find it now The past is one thing I can't change The hands of time keep spinnin' 'round I've been searching high and low But now I know it's my one last chance to bring it home
