Hang Me in the Tulsa County Stars Lyrics

von John Moreland

Hang me in the Tulsa County stars
Hang me in the Tulsa County stars
Meet me where I land if I slip and fall too far
Hang me in the Tulsa County stars

I don't want to come back down to earth
No, I don't want to come back down to earth
My heart is growing heavy from the ever-endless hurt
So I don't want to come back down to earth

And babe, I know this life will make you cold and leave you mad
Make you homesick for a home you never had
Burning out the good with all the bad

So darling let the charmers leave the room
They're drowning out the Nashville moon
I want to learn exactly who you are
Then hang me in the Tulsa County stars

Find me in the Indian Nation sky
You can find me in the Indian Nation sky
When it feels like nothing's real and no one's standing on your side
Just find me in the Indian Nation sky

I'd set ablaze the secrets I'd concealed
I'd set ablaze the secrets we conceal
If I could make you feel the way you make me feel
I'd set ablaze the secrets we conceal

And babe, I know this world will have the wolves outside your door
Make you leave all that you love to fight a war
And never tell you what you're dying for

So, darling, let the charmers leave the room
Let them have that Nashville moon
I want to know exactly who you are
Then hang me in the Tulsa County stars
Just hang me in the Tulsa County stars
