We left southern california she cried for several days She didn't won't to leave her hills and home She said the dessert's calling me and the dry winds cry my name She said the rain don't ever stop in oklahoma
But I said I'll show you turner falls and the green arbuckle mountains Where the grass grows stirrup high most all year long She said I won't be happy there I'll miss my dessert mornings She said the rain don't ever stop in oklahoma
I bought her pretty dresses and yellow ribbons for her hair I never made her smile or feel like home She found a diesel driving man headed west to california The dessert called my sweet diana home
And standing here alone in these green arbuckle mountains Where the grass grows stirrup high most all year lon But I can't see their beauty with my eyes this full of tears I guess the rain won't ever stop in oklahoma
