VERSE 1 Nobody paints like Oklahoma does When the evening comes and spills across the wheat Fire and rose gold, copper and violet Burning low above the county seat CHORUS Sundown on the prairie All that burning color in the air Sundown on the prairie Finest thing that anybody's made anywhere Hold it in your eyes a little longer Watch it fade and tell me you're not moved There's something holy in an Oklahoma sundown And tonight I think He painted it for you VERSE 2 (Stella) Pulled the truck off on the old section road Let the engine idle, let it breathe Couldn't find a single word to say to you Just watched the whole wide sky do as it pleased BRIDGE Tell me there ain't something worth believing in When the clouds go pink from ridge to ridge Stand out here with me and tell me you don't feel it There at the bend where the two-lane meets the bridge OUTRO Sundown on the prairie... Painted just for us...
