Carrie Underwood - I Ain't in Checotah Anymore Lyrics

Where 69 meets 40, 
There's a single stop light town, 
And back when I was really young, 
A part of that burned down, 
On any given Friday night,
We'd drive a hundred miles, 
Between the Sonic and the Grocery Store, 
Laughing all the while, 
With as many friends as I could pack, 
In my daddy's Ford, 
But I ain't in Checotah anymore. 

[Chorus 1:]
My hotel in Manhattan, 
Holds more people than our town, 
And what I just paid for dinner, 
Would be a down payment on a house, 
I'd rather be tipping cows in Tulsa, 
Than hailing cabs here in New York,
But I ain't in Checotah anymore. 

I'm in a world so wide, 
It makes me feel small sometimes, 
I miss the big blue skies, 
The Oklahoma kind.

[Chorus 2:]
In a world of long red carpets, 
The bright lights of Hollywood, 
All the paparazzi flashing, 
Could make a girl feel pretty good, 
You can get anything you want here, 
Except a Wal-Mart store, 
But I ain't in Checotah anymore. 

I'm in a world so wide, 
It makes me feel small sometimes, 
I miss the big blue skies, 
The Oklahoma kind.

[Chorus 3:]
Where the Wildcats beat the Ironheads,
Old Settler's Day and the Okra Fest, 
After prom, down at the bowling lanes, 
Catching cape fish in Eufaula lake, 
I ain't in Checotah anymore. 

I'm in a world so wide, 
It makes me feel small sometimes, 
I miss the big blue skies,
The Oklahoma kind.
But I ain't in Checotah, 
No I ain't in Checotah, 
Oh, there's nothing like Oklahoma. 

Where 69 meets 40, 
There's a single stoplight town.
