I ain't in Checotah anymore

So I'm walking down the street in Mong Kok today...For those who don't know Mong Kok is the most densely populated place in the world. and for some reason I chose to live there. So anyways, I'm walking down the street dodging people and listening to my Ipod. Random shuffle of songs and a Carrie Underwood song comes on. "I Aint in Checotah Anymore." Even though I didn't grow up in a small town, I still grew up in Middle America, which has a Small town feel pretty much anywhere you go and this song totally fit what I was feeling at that moment.

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.

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.

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.

Where the Wildcats beat the Ironheads, old Settler's day and the Okrafest,
After prom, down at the bowling lanes, catching crappie 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.
