There's a picture on the wall
Of me on a John Deere
Jenny handed me a beer
Said How the hell
did you get there
Oh Oklahoma
Mm-mm mm
There were flowers that were dry
Sittin' on the dresser
She asked me where they're from
I said A place I don't remember
Oh Oklahoma Oh-oh
Jenny jumped into the pool
She was swimmin' with Nikki Lane
She said
Most men don't want a woman
With a legacy it's of age
She said You can't be a muse
and be happy too
You can't blacken the pages
with Russian poetry
And be happy
And that scared me
'Cause I met a man who
Said he'd come back every May
Just to help me
if I'd paint my banisters blue
Blue banisters ooh
Said he'd fix my weathervane
Give me children
take away my pain
And paint my banisters blue
My banisters blue
There's a hole that's in my heart
All my women try and heal
They're doin' a good job
Convincin' me that it's not real
It's heat lightning oh-oh-oh oh
'Cause there's a man
that's in my past
There's a man
that's still right here
He's real enough to touch
In my darkest nights he's shinin'
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Jenny was smokin' by the pool
We were writin' with Nikki Lane
I said I'm scared
of the Santa Clarita Fires
I wish that it would rain
I said the power of us
three can bring
absolutely anything
Except that one thing
The diamonds the rust
and the rain
The thing that washes away
the pain
But that's okay 'cause
Now when weather turns to May
All my sisters come
to paint my banisters green
My blue banisters grey
Tex and Mex are in the Bay
Chucky's makin' birthday cake
Chickens runnin' bare feet
there's a baby on the way
And now my blue banisters
are green and grey ah-ah
Summer comes winter goes
Spring I skip God knows
Summer comes winter goes
Spring I sleep Heaven knows
Every time it turns to May
All my sisters fly to me
To paint paint
