A little girl was cryin'
For her mama and her daddy
She couldn't understand why they were gone
She never knew the danger
Of talking to a stranger
Now the girl can't find her way back home

A little boy went walkin'
Down to the corner market
To buy a loaf of bread and an ince cream cone
He never knew the dnager
Of talkin' to a stranger
Now the boy can't find the way back home

Chorus:
Too many kids are missin'
Is anybody listening?
Won't you be the children's eyes
They're all alone
The hardest part's not knowing
Where they are or where they're going
Won't you help the children find
The way back home

The faces on milk cartons
Thrown away and soon forgotten
What if one of those sweet kids
Was your very own

Tonight those kids are weeping
While yours are safely sleeping
Won't you help the children find
The way back home

Chorus

Won't you help the children find
The way back home

There's a long white line stretching out on the road ahead
And there ain't one magazine that i ain't read
I haven't seen you in weeks but i hear you on the radio
Singing soft and low

Chorus:
We're so far apart
This old highway ain't home
When the heartache starts
I just turn the radio on

There never seems to be time for me and you
That's a price you pay for the life you choose
Tonight's the loneliest night i've ever known
It just goes on and on

Repeat chorus

It does my heart good to see you shine
So i'll just keep on counting these white lines
I haven't seen you in weeks but i hear you on the radio
Calling me back home

Repeat chorus to fade

What if i say i love you
Would it mean as much as it used to
Could it help the hurt that we're putting us through
What if i said goodbye

What if tomorrow you wake up
And i'm not around what you break up
Would you take one towards me to make up
What if i said goodbye

What would you do if i did what i should have done long ago
Is there someone you'd turn to as soon as i left
Someone you already know

What if i say i love you
Would you want to make up like i do
Could we possibly salvage the dreams we knew
What if i said goodbye

What would you do if i did what i should have done long ago
Is there someone you'd turn to as soon as i left
Someone you already know

What if i say i love you
Would it mean as much as used to
Could it help the hurt that we're putting us through
What if i said goodbye

Well it's rainin' down in houston
And i got holes in both my shoes
Baby's put me on the street
She says "i'm through with you"

She thinks i'm gonna miss her
Someone tell her that she's wrong
I'm goin' back to oklahoma, boys
'cause that's where i belong

Chorus:
I need one good ride
I'll be satisfied
Come on oklahoma borderline
If we roll all night
She'll be comin' into sight
Come on oklahoma borderline

Well now i don't need no texas girl
Doggin' me around
I may be a okie, son
But i've still been to town

Well those oklahoma city girls
They always treat you right
Well tell mama that i'm comin' home (not sure of this line...)
And i'm leavin' out tonight

Chorus

So with two bucks in my pocket
And my thumb stuck in the wind
When i cross red river, boys
I won't be back again

Give me old back roads and truck stops
And 18 wheels that whine
And some good ol' boy to take me
To that oklahoma line

Chorus

I caught one good ride
She's comin' into sight
Hello oklahoma borderline
