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