[Verse 1]
~#**************#~
Theres a picture on the wall
~#**************#~
Of me on a John Deere
~#**************#~
Jenny handed me a beer
~#**************#~
Said, “How the hell did you get there?”
~#**************#~
Oh, Oklahoma
~#**************#~
Mm-mm, mm
~#**************#~
[Verse 2]
~#**************#~
There were flowers that were dry
~#**************#~
Sittin on the dresser
~#**************#~
She asked me where theyre from
~#**************#~
I said, “A place I dont remember”
~#**************#~
Oh, Oklahoma (Oh-oh)
~#**************#~
[Pre-Chorus]
~#**************#~
Jenny jumped into the pool
~#**************#~
She was swimmin with Nikki Lane
~#**************#~
She said, “Most men dont want a woman
~#**************#~
With a legacy, its our bane”
~#**************#~
She said “You cant be a muse and be happy too
~#**************#~
You cant blacken the pages with Russian poetry
~#**************#~
And be happy”
~#**************#~
And that scared me
~#**************#~
‘Cause I met a man who
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
Said hed come back every May
~#**************#~
Just to help me if Id paint my banisters blue
~#**************#~
Blue banisters, ooh
~#**************#~
Said hed fix my weathervane
~#**************#~
Give me children, take away my pain
~#**************#~
And paint my banisters blue
~#**************#~
My banisters blue
~#**************#~
[Verse 3]
~#**************#~
Theres a hole thats in my heart
~#**************#~
All my women try and heal
~#**************#~
Theyre doin a good job
~#**************#~
Convincin me that its not real
~#**************#~
Its heat lightning, oh-oh-oh, oh
~#**************#~
[Verse 4]
~#**************#~
‘Cause theres a man thats in my past
~#**************#~
Theres a man thats still right here
~#**************#~
Hes real enough to touch
~#**************#~
And in my darkest nights, hes shinin
~#**************#~
Ooh-ooh-ooh
~#**************#~
[Pre-Chorus]
~#**************#~
Jenny was smokin by the pool
~#**************#~
We were writin with Nikki Lane
~#**************#~
I said Im scared of the Santa Clarita Fires
~#**************#~
I wish that it would rain
~#**************#~
I said the power of us three can bring absolutely anything
~#**************#~
Except that one thing
~#**************#~
The diamonds, the rust, and the rain
~#**************#~
The thing that washes away the pain
~#**************#~
But thats okay, cause
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
Now when weather turns to May
~#**************#~
All my sisters come to paint my banisters green
~#**************#~
My blue banisters gray
~#**************#~
Tex and Mex are in the Bay
~#**************#~
Chuckys makin birthday cake
~#**************#~
Chickens runnin bare feet, theres a baby on the way
~#**************#~
And now my blue banisters are green and gray, ah-ah
~#**************#~
[Outro]
~#**************#~
Summer comes, winter goes
~#**************#~
Spring, I skip, God knows
~#**************#~
Summer comes, winter goes
~#**************#~
Spring, I sleep, Heaven knows
~#**************#~
Every time it turns to May
~#**************#~
All my sisters fly to me
~#**************#~
To paint, paint
