strong medicine


strong medicine
that's what I need
to survive in this world
to get me up to speed
it don't do no good
hanging around this town
so I'm leaving home
I'm California bound
my days in Oklahoma
are coming to an end
all I need now
is strong medicine

goodbye to my parents
goodbye to this land
take me some place far away
where i can understand
the ways of the world
as they reach out to me
the spirit leads me on
to where I'm supposed to be
goodbye to Oklahoma
I won't see you again
all I desire
is strong medicine

nothing is ever easy
every question is a test
of all you hold inside you
I try my very best
you can come and see me
if you've got a mind to roam
I will give you comfort
in the safety of my home
I will miss Oklahoma
I will miss all my friends
all I have right now
is strong medicine
