You're a Fan

I hopped in the car after breakfast
with a dream and a tank of gas.
Welcome to the land of lame excess,
I’m leavin’ T.X. with class.

Hopped on I-40, here I am for the first time.
Look to my right and I see the Phillips 66 sign.
This is all so crazy.
The Panhandle seems so rural.

My tummys turnin and I’m feelin kinda home sick
Too much pressure and I’m nervous,
That’s when Chamara man turned on the radio
and the Skynyrd song was on,
and the Skynyrd song was on,
and the Skynyrd song was on.

Get to Oklahoma City
Everybody’s lookin at me now
Like “who’s that guy, that’s speaking weird?
He’s gotta be from out of town”

So had lunch it was a bacon burger.
It’s definitely not a McD’s menu
Cause’ we ate at Whataburger
I guess I’ve never been to this venue.

My tummys turnin’ and I’m feelin’ kinda real sick,
Too much burger and French Fries
That’s when Chamara dropped my favorite tune
and the Frankie song was on,
and the Frankie song was on,
and the Frankie song was on.

Checotaw Water Tower (Home of Carrie Underwood)

A Mountain in Oklahoma

Entering Arkansas

Soon enough we’re in Arkansas
And the Ozarks are all around.
We book the hotel in Little Rock,
And barbecue places abound!

So we head to two B-B-Q pits,
And Of course they weren’t open.
So we hit the Super Buffet.
Had Chinese, and I’m still copin’.

My tummys turnin’ and I’m feelin’ kinda real sick
Too much chicken and Eggrolls
That’s when I threw in my favorite tune
and the Sublime song was on,
and the Sublime song was on,
and the Sublime song was on.

Feel like hoppin’ on a flight (on a flight)
Back to S-T-C tonight (Now!  Tonight!)
Something stops me everytime (everytime)
Chamara plays my song and I feel alright!
