Intro
2x
Suitcase packed with all his things
Car pulls up, the doorbell rings
He don't want to go
He thought he'd found his home
But with circumstances he can't change
Waves goodbye as they pull away
From the life he's known
A --
For the last seven months or so
G --
She said we found the man who looks like you
F# --
Who cried and said he never knew
About the boy in pictures that we showed him
G --
A rambler in his younger days
F# --
He knew he made a few mistakes
But he swore he would have been there
Had he known it
-intro
Son we think we found your dad in Oklahoma
A million thoughts raced through his mind
What's his name, what's he like and will he be
Anything like the man in his dreams
She could see the questions in his eyes
Whispered "don't be scared my child
G A --
I'll let you know, what we know
G --
About the man we found, he looks like you
F# --
And cried and said he never knew
About the boy in pictures that we showed him
A rambler in his younger days He knew he'd made a few mistakes
But he swore he would've been there Had he known it
You always said that this was something that you wanted
Son it's time to meet your Dad in Oklahoma
Em --
One last turn he held his breath
Bm --
'Til they reached the fifth house on the left
And all at once the tears came rolling in
Em --
And as they pulled into the drive
Bm --
A man was waiting there outside
Who wiped the worry from his eyes Smiled and took his hand
G --
And he said I'm the man who looks like you
F# --
Who cried because I never knew
About that boy in pictures that they showed me
G -- F# --
A rambler in my younger days I knew I made a few mistakes
But I swear I would have been there had I known it
Never again will you ever be alone
Son welcome to your home in Oklahoma
