Just another night with the missus and me

Settin' on the couch watchin' Court TV

But lemme tell you son it can sure get real

If you ever get to thinkin' it's a done deal
[Chorus]

Get your big feet up off the ground

We'll pass a good time out past the lights of town

Take my hand Oklahoma Jane

[Verse 4]
Dm G
Doesn't everybody get that way sometimes?
Dm
I was lookin' at every woman but mine
Dm
I was lookin' at the faces, lookin' at the parts
F F
Lookin' through the hole in the bottom of my heart
[Chorus]

Turtle Bayou turn around
