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

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

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

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 Walmart store
But I ain't in Checotah anymore

Chorus

           G
Where the Wildcats beat the Ironheads,
Old Settler's day and the Okrafest,
After prom down at the bowling lanes,
Catchin' crappy fish in Eufaula lake,
   Am   G      F           Fsus4
I ain't in Checotah anymore.

F C Fsus4 F   G
         Oh Yeah...

Chorus:
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 sixty-nine meets forty
There's a single stoplight town
