|
Suitcase packed with all his things
|
Car pulls up, the doorbell rings
|
He don't wanna 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 7 months or so
|
|
She said, we found a 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'd 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 this was something that you wanted
|
Son it's time to meet your dad in Oklahoma
|
|
One last turn he held his breath
|
Till they reached the faint house on the left
|
And all at once the tears came rolling in
|
And as they pulled into the drive
|
The man was waiting there outside
|
He wiped the worry tears 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 the boy in pictures that they showed me
|
Oh a rambler in my younger days
|
I knew I'd 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
|
