Hang Me in the Tulsa County Stars - John Moreland

Hang me in the Tulsa County stars

Hang me in the Tulsa County stars

Meet me where I land if I slip and fall too far

Hang me in the Tulsa County stars

I don’t want to come back down to earth

No, I don’t want to come back down to earth

My heart is growing heavy from the ever-endless hurt

So I don’t want to come back down to earth

Babe, I know this life will make you cold and leave you mad

Make you homesick for a home you never had

Burning out the good with all the bad

So darling let the charmers leave the room

They’re drowning out the Nashville moon

I want to learn exactly who you are

Then hang me in the Tulsa County stars

Find me in the Indian Nation sky

You can find me in the Indian Nation sky

When it feels like nothing’s real and no one’s standing on your side

Just find me in the Indian Nation sky

And I’d set ablaze the secrets I concealed

I’d set ablaze the secrets we conceal

If I could make you feel the way you make me feel

I’d set ablaze the secrets we conceal

Babe, I know this world will have the wolves outside your door

Make you leave all that you love to fight a war

And never tell you what you’re dying for

So, darling, let the charmers leave the room

Let them have that Nashville moon

I want to know exactly who you are

Then hang me in the Tulsa County stars

Just hang me in the Tulsa County stars
