Girl From Sallisaw

She first came to me
said hey babe don't you know
life can be tragic
gotta learn as you go
She could make you smile
While pointing out your flaws
As a small-town girl from Sallisaw
Church every Sunday
to learn wrong from right
Daddy preached the gospel
And smoked cocaine at night
Like a refugee she fled east to Arkansas
As a small-town girl from Sallisaw
Nothing in her pockets but her dreams
Daring to outrun her insecurities
Windows rolled down to feel the breeze
No real plans but being free
She tried her hand at the tables
Dealing out the cards
Served beer on airplanes
and closed down all the bars
Had misunderstandings with officers of the law
She still a small-town girl from Sallisaw
Along the way she found love a time or two
Dyed her hair whichever color fit her mood
Wherever she found herself is right where she belonged
As a small-town girl from Sallisaw
Nothing in her pockets but her dreams
daring to outrun her insecurities
windows rolled down to feel the breeze
No real plans but being free
When she first came to me
I was trying to hide my scars
She assured me this living really ain't that hard
I stayed out all night and hit the road at dawn
With a small-town girl from Sallisaw
Nothing in my pockets but my dreams
Daring to outrun my insecurities
Windows rolled down the feel the breeze
No real plans but being free

Find me a lover/who won't shy away
Play me a song that I can't play
Find me an angel who'll burn away the grey
Help me find sunshine for the day
Find me the courage/to say the things that I can't say
Make whole the debts that I can't pay
Show me a vision of the God to whom I pray
Help me find sunshine for the day
I'm trying to untangle my knotted mind
Good God almighty can you help me find
a way
I need some direction/I need a plan
Like a tall drink of water for a thirsty man
Open my window
Let the sun climb in
Let the warmth thaw out my frozen skin
I'm learning to let it go
For my peace of mind
Open up and let that caged bird fly
Open my window
Give me still waters
Restore my soul
Break away these chains I can't control
Build me a castle where I can sit upon my throne
Can't walk this broken path alone
I'm trying to untangle my knotted mind
Good God almighty can you help me find
a way
I need some direction/ I need a plan
Like a tall drink of water for a thirsty man
Open my window
Let the sun climb in
Let the warmth thaw out my frozen skin
I'm learning to let it go
For my peace of mind
Open up and let that caged bird fly
Open my window

Black White & Greenwood

Grown man, Tulsa, 1921
Called a boy depending on which side of town he's on
Grab your torches, grab your ropes, and fellas grab your guns
black, white and greenwood mix tonight
Between the oil sales came sordid tales of the Drexel Building's lift
The white mob won't dare show its face but demanded justice swift
Ol' WIllard cocked his lever back and the winds began to shift
Black White and Greenwood mix tonight
Bombs away, it's Decoration Day
Burn it down and steal their wealth away
Cover up your deeds, bury it deep in your memory
The night they burned Greenwood to the ground
Fire in the hole, not a word of this shall be told
the night they burned Greenwood to the ground
1000 deep the hooded sheep stood on the courthouse lawn
the other side had drawn the line, hell bent to hold their own
Between the gaze the bullets raged
300 dead by dawn
Black white and greenwood mix tonight
1000 grew times 10 to do a lifetime's worth of sin
It set the stage for fire and graves where black wall street had been
Oil-soaked rags were the only flags seen flying in the end
Black White and Greenwood mix tonight
Bombs away, it's Decoration Day
Burn it down and steal their wealth away
Cover up your deeds, bury it deep in your memory
The night, they burned Greenwood to the ground
Fire in the hole, not a word of this shall be told
the night, they burned Greenwood to the ground.
The privileged knew just what to do
When the Guard restored their peace
Intern them all and pass a law; white's only if you please
No quarter to give, no place to live
10,000 refugees
Black White and Greenwood mix tonight
Bombs away, it's Decoration Day
Burn it down and steal their wealth away
Cover up your deeds, bury it deep in your memory
The night, they burned Greenwood to the ground
Fire in the hole, not a word of this shall be told
The night, they burned Greenwood to the ground.
